UPEI Math Camp is held in early May each year, bringing together some of PEI's top high school students for a weekend of mathematically-oriented education and entertainment. Students participate in group problem solving, math relays, math trivia, a career information session, and sessions with faculty. Hopefully, students leave with a broader view of mathematics, in both its intrinsic beauty and its practical utility, and with motivation to continue their math studies in the future.

The Blundon Seminar is an annual (since 1982) three-day math camp for senior high school students from Newfoundland who are interested in mathematics and demonstrate consistently good performance in mathematics competitions such as Blundon, COMC, Euclid, Fermat, and Cayley contests. Each year we invite about 35-50 students. During 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…

The camp is  scheduled for May 18-20, 2018 and will be residential in nature. The camp is planned for 28 students in grade 10 and 11 and 3 university students who will serve as chaperones. Invitations will be sent to high schools in Nova Scotia for nominations of maximum per school of two students. The students will be expected to be academically strong and enthusiastic, with strong aptitude for mathematics. In addition to the criteria listed above, selection of the…

Every year in July the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Dalhousie University organizes and hosts the math camp whose goals are to identify, stimulate and encourage mathematical talent among Nova Scotia high school students. The camp is normally jointly sponsored by the AARMS, Dalhousie University and the Canadian Mathematical Society. It consists of lectures and problem-solving sessions conducted by faculty and graduate students from Dalhousie, Mount Saint Vincent and Acadia Universities and also includes extracurricular activities which are held…

What is a smart village? Using mathematics for rural prosperity V. Kumar Murty (University of Toronto) We conceive of a smart community as one in which static social inequality is minimized. Modelling this mathematically and translating it into a development strategy is one of the big global challenges of our time. When implemented, it will affect 3 billion people, or about half the world's population. About the speaker: Kumar Murty received his BSc from Carleton University and his PhD in…

The integration challenge, modelled on an annual version at MIT, is a one-night event where first-year calculus students sign up to compete head-to-head solving integrals. The competition will run like a tournament in single-knockout format, and integration problems increase in difficulty through each round. Information about mathematics as a choice of major, and research opportunities are also planned at the event. Prizes and certificates are awarded to the top 3 finishers.
