Listed below are talks held in the Seminar In Number Theory for Alberta Students (SINTAS). The talks are not intended to be research talks. Instead, we look at number-theoretic results, however classical, that might not be encountered in a typical undergraduate programme.

- Monday 5th October 2020, 12:00–12:50, Paul Buckingham. Fermat for regular primes via cyclotomic theory: Part II.
- Monday 21st September 2020, 12:00–12:50, Paul Buckingham. Fermat for regular primes via cyclotomic theory: Part I.
