Strength in Numbers is a two-day workshop focusing on number theory and related areas, aimed primarily at graduate students. We especially encourage applications from underrepresented groups.

Each morning session will begin with two lectures by senior speakers, which will be accessible to graduate students in early years. Junior participants are invited to give short talks, on a topic of their choice. A novel feature of this workshop is a presentation by Professor Erin Maloney, a psychologist specializing in math education, math research and surrounding problems. Math anxiety, stereotype threat and impostor syndrome are just a few of these issues. The presentation will be followed by a panel on professional development, led by the invited speakers. The participants are encouraged to ask questions, share their experiences and seek advice during this session. Registered participants will be given the opportunity to submit their questions aimed at the panel members, ahead of time, via an online form with the option of anonymous submissions.
