SUMMARY:Blundon Seminar Camp at Memorial
DESCRIPTION:The Blundon seminar is our annual three-day event for senior high school students who are interested in mathematics and demonstrate consistently good performance in mathematics competitions. Participation in the seminar is by invitation only based on the results of preceding Blundon\, Euclid\, Fermat\,and Cayley contests. Each year we have about 35-50 students. \nDuring the seminar the students attend two one-hour talks given by professors from MUN on various mathematical topics and applications in science and engineering. There are several problem solving sessions as well as other activities such as Mathletics and Papers Chase. The winner of Blundon Contest is presented with the Blundon Shield\, and the winners of other contests are also presented with money and book prizes. The awards for the best results in mathematics competitions are presented during the banquet\, where a collective photo is taken as well. \nThe first Blundon seminar took place in May 1982. It is named after professor W.J. Blundon who was the first head of the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at MUN\, and an avid problem solver. This seminar traditionally combines intellectual and fun/sport components. According to students responses collected after each seminar this event is enjoyable\, informative\, and memorable for many of them. It also plays a significant role in the recruitment of the best student for their further studies at MUN. \nMany of former participants continue to show a great success during their graduate studies of mathematics in other universities including University of Toronto\, U of Waterloo\, and UBC. Several of our current faculty members were participants of the seminar in the past.

SUMMARY:St. Francis Xavier University Math Camp
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Mathematics\, Statistics and Computer Science (MSCS) at St. Francis Xavier University (StFX) will be hosting a Math Camp to begin on Friday May 19 and end on Sunday May 21\, 2017. The camp has the support of the Canadian Mathematical Society (CMS)\, the Atlantic Association for Research in the Mathematical Sciences (AARMS)\, and St. Francis Xavier University. \nThis Camp is the fourth of a recurring series of annual Math Camps to be held at StFX. These Camps are designed for students in grades 10 and 11 students. The goal of the Math Camps is to provide students in Nova Scotia with opportunities for personal growth in the mathematical sciences within a supportive environment. \nThe camp will consist of lectures to be delivered by experienced instructors from StFX\, and fun filled activities to include: math relays\, math trivia\, problem solving\, and games. Participation in the Camp is by invitation only. School Principals or designates will be requested to nominate two students (grades 10 and 11 only) per school. Selection of participants will be made from the list of nominees.
