Calculus Instruction in Atlantic Canada Symposium 2020 – CANCELLED
Calculus Instruction in Atlantic Canada Symposium 2020 will have the theme of Helping High School and University students to Deepen Their Understanding of Calculus. It will be held at STFX on May 29-30, 2020 and Atlantic Canadian high school educators, as well as university educators will be invited. The goal of this symposium is to give participants the opportunity to hear from experts and engage in discussions regarding ways to help students with conceptual understanding of calculus through specific examples…

Connecting Women in Mathematics Across Canada – CANCELLED
The CWiMAC workshops are developed and organized in coordination with the CMS Women in Mathematics Committee. The purpose of these workshops is to support the career development of junior women academics in the Canadian mathematics community. These events have been highly successful in the past. The goal is to hold this workshop roughly every two years. The last CWiMAC workshop was held in 2014, and it is timely to organize another one. This workshop will be held at the University…

The Euler's method and the Gillespie algorithm to simulate a stochastic SIR model (part 1) JC Loredo-Osti (MUN) In this presentation, we will discuss the implementation of the two more common procedures to simulate a stochastic compartmentalised epidemic model, the Euler's method and the Gillespie algorithm. We will also talk about extensions to the stochastic SIR model, as for example, the two ways to include a compartment for asymptomatic cases as well as extensions to account for a non-homogeneous process…

Modelling the composition and the dynamic of the Earth subsurface is a difficult problem, which requires the implementation of efficient numerical methods for partial differential equations and of advanced statistical methods for analyzing experimental data as well as comparing them with synthetic data produced by mathematical models. In this session we will bring together mathematicians and geophysicists to present and discuss some trends in geophysical modelling and computational geophysics. Topics will include the following: -Domain decomposition methods (optimized Schwarz methods)…

Decomposition of graphs, particularly decomposition into cycles, is a vibrant area of research in the intersection of graph theory and the theory of combinatorial designs. For almost two centuries, professional as well as amateur mathematicians have been intrigued by problems that are easy to state yet extremely difficult to solve. In the last couple of decades, we have witnessed an explosion of new results, including new techniques and solutions to many long-outstanding problems; however, many fundamental problems remain unsolved. The…

Designs and codes are very active areas of research in combinatorics. There have been numerous breakthroughs in recent years, such as the existence proof for Steiner systems for arbitrary values of t. Research in designs, codes and their interaction includes both mathematical and algorithmic questions. Proofs encompass both constructions and probabilistic methods, and employ diverse mathematical techniques from algebra, number theory, graph theory, etc. In addition, there are numerous applications, in areas such as cryptography, in which designs and codes…

The Euler’s method and the Gillespie algorithm to simulate a stochastic SIR model (part 2) JC Loredo-Osti (MUN) The second part of this presentation will be used to talk about some example of extensions to the stochastic SIR model. We will start with adding compartments that leave the fundamental structure of the model unchanged, like the ones that add a latent class or add compartments to accommodate for metapopulations, as well as incorporating the serial-time distribution to model the infectious…

The Queer and Trans Mathematicians in Combinatorics conference (QTMC) is a first-ever event in combinatorics specifically aimed at queer and trans mathematicians. It aims to bring together and support queer and trans combinatorists. The conference promotes a supportive and active collaborative environment for the participants and aims to bring about visibility to an otherwise underrepresented invisible minority in the combinatorics community. The QTMCis heavily geared toward students, postdocs and early career mathematicians who are queer and/or trans.

Planning for Covid-19: Government’s informational needs in a time of uncertainty Mathieu Chalifoux (Government of New Brunswick) In this presentation, we will go over three questions that have recently been posed to the mathematical sciences community in Fredericton, New Brunswick as a means to better understand and plan for the incidence of COVID-19 in the coming months. Further discussion will ensue with all participants as a means to discuss what type of information is useful to governments during this ongoing…

Pokemon in the City Danny Dyer (Memorial University of Newfoundland) When playing Pokemon Go, trying to catch all the Pokemon in a big, grid like city is difficult, but can be discussed in terms of the watchman number of grid graphs. We present some bounds for these graphs, and argue that is better to play Pokemon Go on a toroidal space station. Gotta catch ‘em all! Passing the buck: a chip firing game M.E. Messenger (Mount Allison) Suppose a group…
