PIMS Workshop on Mathematical Sciences and Clean Energy Applications
To avoid the worst consequences of climate change, the energy chain of the global economy must be drastically decarbonized. This exploratory workshop will build a greater dialogue between those in the mathematical sciences and the clean energy sector. The workshop will include: first-hand accounts of mathematical scientists working in clean energy projects, kind and gentle introductions to clean energy systems and mathematical tools, graduate student presentations, and panel discussions on topics such as challenges in clean energy. The goal of…

The CanaDAM conference series is devoted to all aspects of discrete and algorithmic mathematics. A meeting has been held in each odd-numbered year since 2007. The intent of these conferences is to provide a strong conference to fill the years in which the SIAM conference in Discrete Mathematics does not take place, and to showcase Canadian research in this area of mathematics. The conference enjoys representation and plenary talks on a wide variety of topics in discrete and algorithmic mathematics,…

CMESG is not a typical academic conference, for it is not organized around presentations and audiences. Instead, it is a conference based on conferring, bringing mathematicians and mathematics educators into conversation on topics of importance to the CMES community. Its main feature is the working group. Each working group will meet for three full mornings to interact around a particular topic. There are two plenary speaker sessions which will each address the whole conference. Two other types of sessions provide…

Special Session: Categorical Approaches to Geometry and Topology (2019 CMS Summer meeting)
This session will highlight research that uses category theory to make progress in various areas of geometry and topology. Particularly, we plan to have speakers on topological data analysis, homotopy type theory, topological complexity and robotics, synthetic differential geometry, and orbifolds and groupoids.

This Education session Assessment in Mathematics as part of the Canadian Mathematical Society Summer meeting will provide an opportunity for instructors to share such pedagogical knowledge as their innovative and meaningful approaches to assessment and the outcomes of these approaches, especially in the age of ease of access to both pedagogical resources and assignment solutions online. Through discussions at the last CMS Summer meeting, it was discovered that many undergraduate mathematics instructors struggle with assigning meaningful assessment, given that extensive…

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…
