The New York Number Theory Seminar is a research seminar devoted to the theory of numbers and related parts of mathematics and physics. Started in 1981 by a quartet of mathematicians then affiliated with City College (CUNY), Columbia University, and Rutgers–Newark, and currently at Lehman College (CUNY) and the Polytechnic University of New York, the seminar meets weekly, usually on Thursday afternoons, during the academic year at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. The New York Number Theory Seminar also organizes an annual Workshop on Combinatorial and Additive Number Theory (CANT) at the CUNY Graduate Center. Proceedings of the seminar have been published regularly by Springer-Verlag.

“A child of three cannot raise its chubby fist to its mouth to remove a piece of carpet which it is through eating, without being made the subject of a psychological seminar of child-welfare experts, and written up, along with five hundred other children of three who have put their hands to their mouths for the same reason.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
