Thematic Program “Mathematical Foundations of Data Science”
The rise of big data has caused a tectonic shift in the field of data science, opening up new possibilities but also coming with new challenges, such as the curse of dimensionality. These changes have revived old ideas and inspired new approaches in many areas of applied mathematics. Some of the most fascinating and impactful developments are now taking place at the interface of optimization, probability theory, numerical analysis, approximation theory and their interplay with machine and statistical learning. Motivated…

Black Educators’ Association – Dalhousie Math Camp 2025
The BEA/DAL Math Camp offers African-Nova Scotian junior high school youth, a math-based real university experience, to open doorways to STEM careers. The campers are broken into two groups that change between Mathematics sessions and Coding sessions. Each session has a black school teacher paired with a university teacher as instructors. A puzzle-based approach is proposed for the Math sessions. In these sessions campers will explore topics like logic puzzles, counting based card tricks, binary numbers & error correcting codes,…

This annual (minus a few blips) meeting has been hosted by 11 universities around the Atlantic region, most recently by Memorial University-Grenfell, Acadia, and the University of PEI. It affords an opportunity for approximately 40 researchers, primarily in graph theory, design theory, and combinatorial games, to convene and collaborate. The majority of the participants are expected to be from the Atlantic region: in 2024 87% of attendees were from the region. Our invited plenary speakers are Hugh Thomas, Canada Research…

The Dalhousie-CMS Math Camp is an annual summer camp for 20 high school students from Nova Scotia. It was first held in 2001 and is one of the oldest such camps in Canada. Its aim is to identify, stimulate, and encourage mathematical talent among high school students. The camp will be hosted on campus, and consist of lectures and problem-solving sessions conducted by mathematics faculty from Dalhousie as well as other local universities and will also include additional extracurricular activities.…

The second Dalhousie Indigenous Math Camp will run this summer at Dalhouise's Department of Mathematics & Statistics. The premise is to give indigenous Nova Scotian junior high youth a real university experience in mathematics to induce the campers to pursue higher education in STEM fields. The campers will stay in Dalhousie residences. The campers are participate in Mathematics sessions and the Coding sessions each day. The two teaching teams (one for Math and one for Coding) will ideally pair an…

Hopf Algebras and Related Topics
This workshop is dedicated to the recent developments in the theory of Hopf algebras with an emphasis on its many connections and applications in other areas of mathematics and theoretical physics, such as the theory of monoidal categories, enumerative geometry and Schubert calculus, equivariant cohomology, combinatorics and combinatorial identities, actions and coactions on algebras, conformal and topological field theory as well as renormalization theory. This event will continue the successful collaboration of the Atlantic Algebra Centre (AAC) and the Network…

The MACAS initiative aims to advance humanistic education by integrating various disciplines, inspired by Renaissance philosophers. This approach encourages students to explore multiple fields while fostering a holistic perspective through connections between mathematics, the arts, and sciences. In the 21st century, the importance of interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary education has grown, with mathematics serving as a key link between different fields. MACAS—Mathematics and its Connections to The Arts and Sciences—unites educators and researchers from these areas, including both leading experts and…
