Distributions in Number Theory

Time: 3:30PM
Date: Fri 12th June 2009
Location: Q014 - Quinn School of Business [map]

Abstract: It is said that the prime numbers are random but we do not know what random means. There are many such objects in number theory we would love to understand better but that behave as if random. In this talk, I shall describe how researchers have sought to tame and conquer this “randomness”.

(This talk is part of the General Interest series.)
