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.

“For most visitors to Manhattan, both foreign and domestic, New York is the Shrine of the Good Time. “I don’t see how you stand it,” they often say to the native New Yorker who has been sitting up past his bedtime for a week in an attempt to tire his guest out. “It’s all right for a week or so, but give me the little old home town when it comes to living.” And, under his breath, the New Yorker endorses the transfer and wonders himself how he stands it.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
“In a number of other cultures, fathers are not relegated to babysitter status, nor is their ability to be primary nurturers so readily dismissed.... We have evidence that in our own society men can rear and nurture their children competently and that men’s methods, although different from those of women, are imaginative and constructive.”
—Kyle D. Pruett (20th century)
“No theory is good unless it permits, not rest, but the greatest work. No theory is good except on condition that one use it to go on beyond.”
—André Gide (1869–1951)
“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)
