CAPITAL REGION ALGEBRA/NUMBER THEORY SEMINAR (CRANTS)CRANTS is a regional seminar for the greater Capital District of New York (the area of Albany, Saratoga Springs, Schenectady, and Troy) devoted to number theory, algebra, and related topics in mathematics.
The Seminar meets biweekly during the academic year, generally on Wednesday afternoons at 4:30 p.m. It relies on its members to provide locations for its meetings. From the beginning it was established that a meeting should not be hosted at the institution, if any, where the speaker is in residence. Although there have been exceptions to this rule, there is a continuing determination to uphold it.
At various times in the past the seminar has met at:
Siena College, Latham, NY
Skidmore College, Saratoga Springs, NY
Union College, Schenectady, NY
University at Albany (SUNY), Albany, NYCRANTS was organized in 1986 by mathematics faculty members of the foregoing institutions.
