Calculus Instruction in Atlantic Canada Symposium 2019 will have the theme of Bridging the Gap: High School and University Mathematics. It will be held at MSVU on May 24-25, 2019 and Atlantic Canadian high school educators, as well as university educators will be invited. The goal of this symposium is to give participants the opportunity to hear from experts and engage in discussions regarding misconceptions between what math skills students have leaving high school and what math skills universities assume…

The annual Atlantic General Relativity Conference (AGR) will be held at the University of New Brunswick on May 27-31, 2019. The Atlantic General Relativity Conference series of meetings has been a regular and annual feature of the Atlantic GR community for nearly three decades. This series of meetings focusses on recent developments in all aspects of classical and quantum gravity. The meeting will be split into a 3-day workshop and a 2-day conference. During the workshop, experts will give introductions…

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.

Mini course by Professor Paolo Bellingeri Université de Caen Surface braid groups are a natural generalization of classical braid groups and of fundamental groups of surfaces. They were first defined by Zariski during the 1930's (although braid groups on the sphere had been considered much earlier by Hurwitz), and they were re-discovered during the 1960's in the study of mapping class groups and configuration spaces. These groups, introduced as an "algebraic" tool, turned out to be very difficult to understand.…

The objective of the Data Visualization Competition is to highlight the community-wide benefits of open data, including identifying potential improvements to government services and procedures, and recognizing potential business opportunities. The event is designed to help educate and communicate the benefits and growth opportunities from visualization your data. All levels of government, academia and industry have large amounts of data available to the public through open data portals and this event promotes the use of this resource. Competitors will analyze,…
