Analytic number theory. I began reading a book on analytic number theory on my own sometime last year. While re-reading some chapters of the book again, I decided I might as well do the re-reading with a group of other folks who are interested in this subject. So I began hosting book club meetings for analytic number theory since March this year. I had made a Tell HN post about it back then. Those meetings are still going on consistently. We have a tiny but regular group of participants who meet daily for 40 minutes to read the book together. In fact, we now have a small community around it. We call it the Offbeat Computation Club. See https://offbeat.cc/ https://offbeat.cc/ for more details about it. We plan to add more topics of discussion, such as Common Lisp, SICP, etc., soon. We will begin reading a new chapter (Quadratic Residues and the Quadratic Reciprocity Law) on Monday. This is a pretty self-contained chapter and quite accessible to someone who has not read the previous chapters but has some basic knowledge of modular arithmetic. If this sounds like fun, you are very welcome to join us. See the link in the previous paragraph to find our IRC channel location, meeting link, and other details.
