SUMMARY:PIMS/AARMS WORKSHOP ON New Trends in Localized Patterns in PDEs
DESCRIPTION:Mathematical Theory and Applications to Physics\, Biology and the Social Sciences– a Conference in Honour of the 60th Birthday of Michael J. Ward \nLocalized spatial-temporal patterns commonly occur for various classes of linear and nonlinear diffusive processes. In particular\, they occur in reaction-diffusion (RD) systems modeling quorumsensing (QS) behavior in biological systems\, the initiation of root-hair tip formation in plant cells\, and the spatial distribution of urban crime. Localization behavior also occurs in the biophysical context of calculating first passage statistics for a Brownian walker in a region with localized traps\, and in ecology for calculating the persistence threshold of a species in a patchy landscape. In recent years\, we have witnessed an explosion of many new and exciting developments in the theory and applications of localized solutions in PDEs. Many new frontiers have opened while new connections between old fields have been discovered. \nThis workshop will highlight Prof. Ward’s influential contributions to the mathematics and applications of localized solutions to PDEs. It brings together his students\, colleagues and collaborators in a celebration of Prof. Ward’s 60th birthday. Over his long career\, Prof. Ward has made numerous invaluable contributions to many areas of applied mathematics\, including fluid dynamics\, metastability\, reaction-diffusion equations\, cell biology and pattern formation. He has supervised 13 doctoral students and also mentored numerous postdocs and undergrads.

SUMMARY:Diversity in Mathematics 2020
DESCRIPTION:We propose a multi-year\, multi-level approach to promoting diversity and inclusivity in STEM. The annual two-week program encompasses concurrent\, partially overlapping events targeting two distinct groups: \n(a) A summer school for top undergraduate women in Canada and the northwest United States\, specializing in mathematics or a related STEM field such as computer science\, physics and statistics. The program will expose them to the many facets of the mathematical sciences in an intense two week immersion. Career opportunities in academia and industry will be given equal emphasis. We hope to encourage these gifted young women to continue on to graduate school\, an arena where women are still seriously under-represented. \n(b) An interactive math camp that runs as a companion program to the summer school. The target demographic here involves high school students in grades 10 and 11\, irrespective of gender\, with an aptitude for science and mathematics but from under-privileged groups.

SUMMARY:CMS COVID-19 Research and Education Meeting (CCREM)
DESCRIPTION:The CMS had to postpone the 2020 CMS Summer Meeting planned for this June due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Since we cannot hold a meeting in person\, the CMS still wants to provide a virtual platform for mathematicians to come together and learn during this difficult time. We feel that a meeting focused on the changes caused by COVID-19 to the way we plan\, teach and do research would be of great benefit to the Canadian mathematical community. \nThe session will cover NSERC’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic including new funding opportunities for researchers\, changes in policies for NSERC Discovery grants and scholarship and fellowship programs. NSERC staff will also be answering questions regarding the coming Discovery grant competition.

SUMMARY:Quantum Gravity 2020
DESCRIPTION:The conference “Quantum Gravity 2020“ has a deliberately broad scope. We aim to include participants from all current approaches to quantum gravity\, as well as researchers working on the phenomenology of quantum gravity. The main goal of the meeting is to assess the progress made and to constructively and openly discuss open questions in our understanding of quantum gravity. \nA second goal is to work towards combining the insights gained in the various approaches. In its overall goal as well as the format\, this conference will differ from more specialized meetings that focus on specific quantum-gravity approaches. \nWe hope that this inaugural conference “Quantum Gravity“ can make a contribution to bridging the gaps between quantum gravity approaches\, and bring the entire community together for a constructive and fruitful exchange.

SUMMARY:CMS Special Session: Graph Decompositions
DESCRIPTION:Decomposition of graphs\, particularly decomposition into cycles\, is a vibrant area of research in the intersection of graph theory and the theory of combinatorial designs. For almost two centuries\, professional as well as amateur mathematicians have been intrigued by problems that are easy to state yet extremely difficult to solve. In the last couple of decades\, we have witnessed an explosion of new results\, including new techniques and solutions to many long-outstanding problems; however\, many fundamental problems remain unsolved. \nThe session in Graph Decompositions at the CMS 75th Anniversary Summer Meeting will bring together leading and emerging researchers in the field to share their recent results\, techniques\, and applications. \nThis session is dedicated to Louise Duffield Cummings\, a Canadian-born mathematician who contributed influential results in the study of triple systems. The year 2020 marks the 150th anniversary of her birth.

SUMMARY:Open quantum systems
DESCRIPTION: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. \nThe course will be taught by Marco Merkli (Memorial University) at the African Institute for the Mathematical Sciences (AIMS) Centre of Excellence in Limbe\, Cameroon. AARMS support for Atlantic Canadian participation in AIMS graduate courses is an important component of the Memorandum of Understanding signed between the two institutes in 2015.

SUMMARY:Borders in public health and mathematical epidemiology
DESCRIPTION: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 will provide an important platform for knowledge translation and discussion\, enabling the identification of the key questions in public health policy that involve borders\, and the mathematical models and methods that can be utilized to address these key questions and advance public health policy. The workshop will bring together Canadian and international mathematical epidemiologists and public health decision-makers who work at the forefront of infectious disease research.

SUMMARY:Symposium: The Future of Evolutionary Game Theory
DESCRIPTION: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 across Canada\, the US\, and Europe.

SUMMARY:Workshop: Agent based Models and the mathematical equations that describe them
DESCRIPTION: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 no prerequisite knowledge of coding or mathematics assumed; graduate students eager to add new tools to their mathematical toolboxes are especially welcome.

SUMMARY:Minisymposium for the annual meeting of  the Society for Mathematical Biology
DESCRIPTION: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 \nThe purpose of this minisymposium is to invite mathematical researchers with  biological  backgrounds to work together and contribute to the study of biological waves. It will serve as a platform to report new breakthroughs\, exchange research ideas and extend academic networks. New collaborations are also expected during and after the meeting. Speakers and talks are carefully selected to make the session attractive to a diverse audience. Especially\, PhD students or post-doctoral fellows are encouraged to attend this session for getting research insight in their recent study.

SUMMARY:Assessment in Mathematics Education Session as part of the Canadian Mathematical Society Summer Meeting
DESCRIPTION: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 introductory level proofs\, solution manuals\, and solutions are easily available online. We hope this session will increase mathematics instructors’ assessment toolkit and open a needed discussion about this critically important part of every mathematics course.

SUMMARY:Canadian Mathematics Education Study Group Conference
DESCRIPTION: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 more traditional forms of presentation: invited topic sessions and the new PhD sessions. There is also a gallery walk intended to provide a forum for members to contribute to our meeting and in doing so enhance our awareness of each other’s work. Ad hoc session time is available for members of the community to discuss ideas emerging from the conference sessions. See http://www.cmesg.org/ for more information.

SUMMARY:Diversity in Mathematics
DESCRIPTION:We propose a multi-year\, multi-level approach to promoting diversity and inclusivity in STEM. The annual two-week program will include a summer school for top undergraduate women from across Canada and the northwest United States\, currently specializing in mathematics or a closely related STEM field\, such as computer science\, physics and statistics. The program will show them the many possibilities of math and science as a career\, and encourage them to consider graduate studies\, an arena where women are seriously under-represented. The program will expose them to the many facets of mathematical sciences as a career in an intense two week immersion. Career opportunities in academia and industry will be given equal emphasis. We hope to encourage these gifted young women to continue on to graduate school\, an arena where women are seriously under-represented.

SUMMARY:Canadian Undergraduate Math Conference 2018
DESCRIPTION:The CUMC is a national mathematics conference designed to introduce research topics and skills to undergraduates. Students are encouraged to present their mathematical topic of interest in a relaxed and friendly environment\, and are at the same time exposed to areas of mathematics that they may not have seen before. By placing an emphasis on bilingualism\, regional diversity\, and non-competitiveness\, the CUMC motivates young researchers to further their knowledge and continue in their pursuit of mathematics. The CUMC provides an opportunity for undergraduates to meet and share ideas with their peers from across the country and gives an introduction to the research process and to new and exciting topics in mathematics. Presentations by established keynotes will give attendees a glimpse into mathematics as it is practiced in both academia and industry\, while those by emerging young researchers will motivate undergraduates to explore for themselves mathematics beyond the curriculum.
