AARMS Geophysical Inverse Problems Discussion
Farquharson, 2008, Constructing piecewise-constant models in multidimensional minimum-structure inversions. Also available on the author's webpage: https://www.esd.mun.ca/~farq/special.html Considering the discussion at our previous meeting, it seems natural to next look at methods for recovering sharp/blocky/compact features. This one is a relatively short paper, going back to a time when most inversion work was on rectilinear meshes, and it would be sensible to return to these ideas now that unstructured meshes are seeing more use.

The aim of this workshop is to discuss the current state of research in several interrelated areas of algebra. The first three workshops with the same title were held on the St. John's campus of Memorial University (MUN) in 2001 and at the Bonne Bay Marine Station of MUN in Gros Morne National Park in 2007 and 2012. The current workshop is organized by the Atlantic Algebra Centre (AAC) of MUN in the framework of the collaborative research group "Groups,…

Junior Math and Computer Science Camp
This week-long day camp is an opportunity for students entering grades 5 or 6 in the Annapolis Valley to participate in fun and enriching science-based activities with Acadia faculty and students to develop their curiosity and enjoyment of math and computer science. It represents an important piece of a multi-year plan to develop the science skills of young students in the Annapolis Valley by bringing young students into the Acadia University outreach program. This will begin the process of positively…

Symmetry, Invariants, and their Applications: A Celebration of Peter Olver’s 70th Birthday
This is a proposal for a workshop on symmetry, invariants, and their applications in celebration of Peter Olver's 70th birthday. Transformation and groups are an omnipresent concept in nature, science, and art. Many biological, chemical, physical, or man-made structures exhibit symmetries as a fundamental design principle or as an essential aspect of their functioning. Symmetry groups also occur in a wide variety of modern applications including computer vision, archaeology, numerical integration, and neural networks, differential equations, geometry, and applied mathematics.…

The objective of the conference is to bring together an international group of experts in three areas: microlocal analysis, inverse problems and harmonic analysis. There will be 19 internationally recognized researchers in those subjects, each invited to give a lecture. There has recently been great progress in all these areas, with mutual benefits, and no end in sight. With this conference we hope to foster interaction and collaboration among speakers and other participants from the three different areas. Furthermore, the…

The Canadian Conference on Computational Geometry (CCCG) is a forum to disseminate and discuss theoretical and applied results in discrete and computational geometry. Computational geometry is concerned with the design of efficient algorithms, the development of software, and the study of the mathematical foundations of computational problems whose formulation involves geometric constraints. The field is motivated by problems from a broad range of application areas, as diverse as computer graphics and animation, computer vision, computer-aided design and manufacturing, geographic information…
