Integration Tournament and Boolean Bash as UPEI
This event is the fifth Integration Tournament, along with the Pi-Day event, to be held at School of Mathematical and Computational Sciences, UPEI (March 14-16, 2018). After a first-round competition, about twenty-five students are invited to compete head-to-head in a knockout battle to solve integration problems and determine the best integrator. Spectators are also welcomed to have the opportunity to complete the challenging problems for practices.

We will seek to bring the best and brightest math minds from New Brunswick to UNB.This competition is open to high school students from grades 9-12. Each team will consist of 4 participants. Each team will be labeled as Junior (grades 9-10) or Senior (grades 10-11) categories. In the case that a team has a mixture of grades from 9-12, they will automatically be considered in the category of the most senior member (i.e. a team with three Grade 9…

CMS/UPEI Math Camp
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 Ken Ireland Public Lecture: What is a Smart Village?
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…

Integration Challenge at StFX
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.
