The first number theory seminar speaker is Jon Bober, who will talk
about computing the Riemann Zeta Function.
Be here: THURSDAY October 6, 2011 at 3:30pm in Padelford C401.

== Abstract ==
I'll give a historical overview of computations of the zeta function
on the critical line and then describe some recent computations from
the past year. Mostly this will focus on an implementation of Ghaith
Hiary's $O(t^{1/3})$ method for computing $\zeta(1/2 + it)$ and
computations that Hiary and I have been running using it. Highlights
will include the $10^{32}$nd zero, values of $|\zeta(1/2 + it)|$
larger than 14000, and some record observations of irregularities in
the distribution of zeros.
