Number Theory Seminar Schedule.  

 

Undergraduate and wide audience talks at UGA.  

Vigre seminar on algebraic graph theory.

Available by clicking on the desired words are publications and preprints, and some information on my book, An Invitation to Arithmetic Geometry.

You can read here the review of John Tate's 1966 Bourbaki Seminar article, one of the most important article in the field, reprinted twice already. As Math Reviews has not yet published a review of this article, I sent in this `free' review to the editor of MR in March 2005, who decided not to publish it.

For the mathematical travelers, I have included some notes on several departments of mathematics that I visited in Africa.

 

People doing mathematical research in Africa who have problems getting access to mathematical articles already in print should not hesitate to use the free UGA Mathematics Library copying service.

 

Prospective graduate students should check out the Number Theory/Arithmetic Geometry Group at the University of Georgia. You may also access from here the University of Georgia Mathematics department, the Math Reviews, Number Theory Web, Grothendieck's collected works, and other resources. Some information for visitors can be obtained in this link.

 

In recent years, several web sites started providing `evaluations' of professors. Unfortunately, these evaluations are anonymous, and the evaluator is self-selected: these evaluations are usually from students that either really liked the professor, or really disliked him/her. In my view, undergraduate students should certainly try to find the best available professor teaching a course, but I doubt that these web sites provide any meaningful information in this respect. To help prospective students in their choice of a professor, I will make public below my class evaluations:

Differential Calculus (Math 2200, Fall 2002, data for first section)

Differential Calculus (Math 2200, Fall 2002, data for second section)

I am not claiming that class evaluations are the best indicator of the quality of the instructor, but at least it is certainly a better indicator than what is found on commercial web sites.

My Erdös number is 3: Erdös-Granville-Tucker-Lorenzini or Erdös-Dixmier-Raynaud-Lorenzini.

How many `Dino Lorenzini' live in the US?
