Department of Mathematics & Computer Science
PROBLEM. ANALYSIS. SOLUTION.
Our computer science, mathematics and statistics faculty and instructors are top of the line, with credentials to rival other universities in and outside of Canada.
We offer Bachelor of Science undergraduate degrees in Applied Statistics, Computer Science and Mathematics. Both Master's and Doctoral levels of study are also available. Department faculty are currently working with students studying at each of these levels, many of whom are graduate students from around the world. Learn more about our majors and minors.
Undergraduate students may have opportunities to do research projects with our faculty, using modern facilities, for hands-on experience. Several department faculty have independent research programmes supported by agencies such as NSERC and IBM Canada, and at times, there may be a collaboration with other disciplines.
During this unique time in the world, the University of Lethbridge may be a bit restrictive for personal visits, so please take the time to "meet" our faculty and instructors via the buttons directly below. We think you'll see the Department of Mathematics & Computer Science offers a wide range of topics in each of our disciplines, and we're confident you will find something to appeal to your intellectual interests.

Number Theory & Combinatorics Seminar
Topic: A connection between zeros and central values of L-functions
Date: Monday, March 30
Time: 12:15 - 1:15 pm in M1060
L-functions appear as generating functions encapsulating information about various objects such as Galois representations, elliptic curves, arithmetic functions, modular forms, Maass forms, etc. Studying L-functions is therefore of utmost importance in number theory at large. Two of their attached data carry critical information: their zeros, which govern the distributional behavior of underlying objects; and their central values, which are related to invariants such as the class number of a field extension.
We will discuss the important conjectures, one concerning the distribution of the zeros and one concerning the distribution of the central values, and explain a general principle that any restricted result towards the first conjecture can be refined to show that most corresponding central values have the typical distribution predicted by the second conjecture. We will instantiate this general principle for a wide class of L-functions, and provide a more detailed discussion in the case of L-functions attached to modular forms.
EVERYONE IS WELCOME!
Organizers: Emily Quesada-Herrera, Habiba Kadiri
