39th Annual New Brunswick Mathematics Competition
The provincial New Brunswick Math Competition is a bilingual math competition that takes place in May each year. Students in grades 7-9 from across the province (approximately 1,100 students) attend one of five university locations to simultaneously write the one-hour math competition. There are three competition papers according to grade; each available in both English and French. Following the competition in the morning, students attend enrichment activities held at the universities; awards are distributed at all locations late afternoon. The…

The School of Mathematical and Computational Science (SMCS) is once again organizing the UPEI-CMS-AARMS Regional Math Camp, to be held at UPEI between May 10 – May 12, 2024. We anticipate hosting some of the most talented grade 10 and grade 11 math students from across the Island. This year, we expect to invite 20-25 students. We offer students an opportunity to participate in challenging, intellectual activities with their peers, guided by the UPEI SMCS faculty members. The students will…

The East Coast Combinatorics Conference is a 2-day annual event that brings together researchers in graph theory, design theory, and other areas of combinatorics. There will be two plenary speakers, and a number of contributed talks, in addition to opportunities for collaboration. The event brings together established researchers and those in the early stages of their academic careers and provides opportunities for subsequent collaborative research projects. We encourage participation by students since they greatly benefit from the opportunity to meet…
Find out more »Atlantic Topological Quantum Field Theory Spring School 2024
Topological Quantum Field Theory lives at the intersection of category theory, algebraic topology, representation theory, and theoretical physics. Physically, TQFTs describe and control the symmetries of quantum systems, including quantum symmetries, anomalous symmetries, and higher-form symmetries. Mathematically, TQFTs provide a dictionary between manifold topology and structures in representation theory, and as such allow computations and results to move between these separate fields. This school, aimed at early- to mid-career graduate students, will consist of three 5-hour minicourses related to TQFTs,…

In order to improve the visibility of female researchers in commutative algebra and to give them an opportunity to enlarge and strengthen their scientific networks, we are hosting a 5-day collaborative research workshop entitled “Women in Commutative Algebra III” (or ”WICA III”). The major objectives of the workshop are to advance commutative algebra through cutting-edge re-search; promote the research of women in commutative algebra; facilitate collaborative interaction between junior and senior mathematicians, which includes bolstering leadership among women researchers, and…

The annual Atlantic General Relativity Conference (AGR) will be held at the University of New Brunswick , tentatively scheduled for June 17-19, 2024. The Atlantic General Relativity Conference series of meetings has been a regular and annual feature of the Atlantic GR community for nearly three decades. This series of meetings focusses on recent developments in all aspects of classical and quantum gravity. The first day of the meeting will be dedicated to postdoctoral fellows giving introductory lectures on different…

The Indigenous Math Camp is a new camp that will run this coming summer at Dalhousie's department of Mathematics and Statistics. The premise is to give indigenous Nova junior high students a real university experience mathematics and open up the doorway to careers in STEM. The campers will stay in Dalhousie residences. The campers are br two groups that change between the Mathematics sessions and the Coding sessions each day. The two teaching teams (one for Math and one for…

The Dalhousie Math Camp is an annual event, held for one week in early July. We will accept 20 participants into the program, 10 female and 10 male, that are entering eleventh or twelfth grade in the following school year. We reach out to schools across Nova Scotia and ask for nominations of two students that are enthusiastic and hard working. The students stay and have their meals at the dormitories at Dalhousie for a week and attend seminars in…
