AAC minicourse by Professor Matej Bresar
During the week of September 9 to September 15, 2018, Atlantic Algebra Centre organizes a mini course “Functional Identities and Zero Product Determined Algebras" by Prof. Matej Bresar. Functional identities are an important combinatorial tool applicable to problems in noncommutative and nonassociative algebra, linear algebra, and operator theory. They have been used in an essential way for the solution of the well-known Herstein's Lie map conjectures, which remained open for three decades. Matej Brešar was one of the authors of…

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…

Science Atlantic Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science Conference
The annual Science Atlantic, Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science Conference, will be hosted by Université de Moncton (UdeM) on October 12-13, 2018. This annual gathering provides an opportunity for promising undergraduate students to attend what is often their first academic conference, participate in a competition (mathematics or programming), present on a research topic, attend talks by fellow undergraduate and graduate students, and learn about graduate school opportunities. The conference features three plenary speakers, awards, and a banquet. It is also…

Mini-course “Representations of simple finite dimensional and affine Lie algebras”
This mini-course will focus on Representation Theory of simple complex finite dimensional and affine Lie algebras. We will start with the introduction to the theory of infinite dimensional weight representations. Though the classification of irreducible representations is still open beyond the sl(2) case in general, in some subcategories this problem can be managed successfully. In particular, we will discuss the theory of Gelfand-Tsetlin modules and their generalizations in the finite dimensional case. A comparison will be given with the representations…

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.

New Brunswick Math League
The third annual New Brunswick Math League is an all-day high school mathematics competition hosted by the UNB Math Society at the University of New Brunswick. On April 5th, students from high schools across the province will participate, in groups of 4, in three rounds of competition: the pairs relay, the individual relay, and the team event. Teams can either enter in the junior or senior category based on their age group, however the contest papers are identical for both.…
