University of Michigan Student Arithmetic Seminar
(SArS) |
The seminar is run by Trevor Arnold. For more information contact me at tsarnold@umich.edu. Feel free to suggest a topic and I'll try to get someone (probably me) to talk about it. [Note: the technology for this page was shamelessly stolen; if I told you where from, it wouldn't be shameless.]
