Speaker: Chad Topaz, Williams College Schools of fish, flocks of birds, herds of mammals, and even colonies of bacteria all show behavior we call ‘swarming’, but these groups are difficult to understand biologically and mathematically. I will give an overview of how social and biological interactions lead to swarming behavior. I will also discuss how mathematical modeling (describing the real world with mathematics) can be used to study locust swarms, which are the most massive and destructive swarms on Earth.…

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.
