| Date: | Monday, March 1 |
| Time/Room: | 2:00pm - 3:00pm/S-101 |
I'll discuss connections between the distribution of zeros and values of $L$-functions, such as the Riemann zeta function, and of characteristic polynomials of matrices from the classical compact groups. Very little background will be assumed and the talk will be widely accessible.
