The School of Mathematical and Computational Science (SMCS) is once again organizing the UPEI-CMS-AARMS Regional Math Camp, to be held at UPEI between May 6 – May 8, 2022. We anticipate hosting some of the most talented grade 10 and grade 11 math students from across the Island. This year, we expect to invite 25-30 students. We offer students an opportunity to participate in challenging, intellectual activities with their peers, guided by the UPEI SMCS faculty members. The students will…

This week-long day camp is an opportunity for students entering grades 5 or 6 in the Annapolis Valley to participate in fun and enriching science-based activities with Acadia faculty and students to develop their curiosity and enjoyment of math and computer science. It represents an important piece of a multi-year plan to develop the science skills of young students in the Annapolis Valley by bringing young students into the Acadia University outreach program. This will begin the process of positively…

The UNB Data Challenge 2023 will bring together two competitive tracks, Data Visualization (8th Annual), and Data Analytics (4th Annual) on Nov. 24, 2023, in a virtual format! Take up the challenge and demonstrate the power of data. Participants and teams will have the chance to showcase their ability to tell a story driven by data in unique competitive formats. Teams can participate in both tracks. It is an ideal setting for citizens to get engaged, meet leaders in academia,…

The Integration Competition (held 4 times in the past at this university, funded by AARMS), is a head-to-head competition, in which all first-year calculus students are eligible to compete. Integrals of increasing difficulty are projected, and two students work head to head, to solve it first. The winner moves on, and the other student is eliminated. This process moves through successive rounds until only 2 students are left, solving a challenging problem in integration. This generates excitement about mathematics among…

Acadia's Math Buffets are a chance for students in grades 9- 12 in Hants, Kings and Annapolis counties to explore new and interactive topics in mathematics. In these 2-hour sessions, students will learn about a variety of math topics, such as networks, Google page rank, cryptography, problem solving and how to win at darts.
