Minisymposium for the annual meeting of the Society for Mathematical Biology
Since the pioneer work of Fisher and KPP, Wave Propagation in Biological Media has been widely studied in various mathematical models establishing the movement or invasion of species in heterogenous media or the spread of infectious disease among species. Recently, there have been tremendous advancements in the theory of traveling wavefronts itself, with considerable applications to competition or predation models in the biological field The purpose of this minisymposium is to invite mathematical researchers with biological backgrounds to work together…

This is a multi-year, multi-level approach to promoting diversity and inclusivity in STEM. The annual two-week program will encompass two concurrent, partially overlapping events targeting two distinct groups: 1. A summer school for top undergraduate women from across Canada and the northwest US, currently specializing in mathematics or a closely related STEM field, such as computer science, physics and statistics. The program will expose them to the many facets of mathematical sciences as a career in an intense two week…

Nonassociative algebras and geometry
The workshop is dedicated to recent developments in the theory of nonassociative algebras with emphasis on applications and relations with associated geometries (e.g. simple non-associative algebras, gradings and identities on Lie algebras, algebraic cycles and Schubert calculus on the associated homogeneous spaces). This is a joint event of the Atlantic Algebra Center (AAC) together with the Network of Ontario Lie Theorists (NOLT), which continues the successful collaboration between AAC and NOLT. It will include several introductory mini-courses and talks given…

The ECCC is an annual conference designed to support and bring together researchers in mathematics and computer science interested in all aspects of combinatorics. A unique feature is the workshop like atmosphere which encourages active collaboration and participation of faculty and students while highlighting major theoretical advances and applications in the area. In addition to plenary talks, the conference will features contributed talks presented by faculty, students, and post-docs.

This workshop will clarify the relationship between Agent Based Models (ABMs) and familiar equations from mathematical ecology. This is a hands-on workshop where participants will run and analyze computer code. Mathematical approximations to ABMs are valuable because they (1) reduce computational time to facilitate a more thorough model investigation, (2) eliminate some complexity from the model description to yield clearer results, and (3) reveal parallels with the existing mathematical ecology literature. The workshop is open to all interested registrants, with…

This symposium will explore the analysis and application of game theoretical models to problems in evolutionary ecology. Special emphasis is placed on the dynamics of strategy change, as in evolutionary systems payoffs to players change the distribution of strategies in future generations and (under ecological constraints) payoff matrices may change in response. The properties of evolutionary game-theoretic models will be discussed, with applications to questions in eco-evolutionary dynamics, coevolution, sexual selection, parental care, and other areas. Speakers are drawn from…

Borders in public health and mathematical epidemiology
Most research in Mathematical Epidemiology focuses on infectious disease characteristics within local, isolated populations and geographic regions. However, infectious diseases are not confined to small regions. They cross borders, affecting multiple populations, jurisdictions, and governments. This workshop aims to foster mathematical models of infectious diseases across borders and at the intersection of mathematics and public health. An important component of this workshop is the inclusion of infectious disease modellers that work in local, federal, and global health organizations. The workshop…

Combinatorial Algebra meets Algebraic Combinatorics 2020
Combinatorics Algebra meets Algebraic Combinatorics" (CAAC) is a series of annual workshops that has been meeting since 2004. The main achievement of these meetings is the establishment of an ongoing dialogue between two separate research groups who had previously been using di erent techniques to study similar mathematical problems. The two groups are algebraic combinatorialists working on the representation theory of symmetric groups, and commutative algebraists studying minimal free resolutions and inverse systems. Since the initial meeting, the focus of…

Open quantum systems
This course is concerned with the behaviour quantum systems under the influence of external noise. The theory describes generic noise induced features, such as decoherence, entanglement, thermalization. They are of core interest in applications in various branches of science: in quantum information and computation, chemistry, material sciences and even in biology. Basic familiarity with this theory is a good (and necessary) foundation for a more advanced understanding of most modern quantum sciences. The course will be taught by Marco Merkli…
