DESCRIPTION:Number theory\, also known as arithmetic\, is the study of int
 egers. Throughout the subject’s history\, various conceptual frameworks 
 have been leveraged to make progress. Naturally\, this includes concepts f
 rom algebra and analysis but perhaps more surprising in the context of “
 pure” mathematics is the role played by data. Before computers\, the lik
 es of Gauss\, Legendre\, and Chebyshev were formulating arithmetic conject
 ures based on large samples. More recently\, the famous Birch and Swinnert
 on-Dyer conjecture emerged from computational experimentation. In this tal
 k\, we will explore ways in which one can introduce contemporary data scie
 ntific techniques to the study of arithmetic\, with a view towards solving
  old conjectures and formulating new ones.
