Diversity in Mathematics: an undergraduate summer school for women in mathematics
This is a multi-year, multi-level approach to promoting diversity and inclusivity in STEM. The annual two-week program will encompass two concurrent, partially overlapping events targeting two distinct groups: 1. A summer school for top undergraduate women from across Canada and the northwest US, currently specializing in mathematics or a closely related STEM field, such as computer science, physics and statistics. The program will expose them to the many facets of mathematical sciences as a career in an intense two week…

Nonassociative algebras and geometry
The workshop is dedicated to recent developments in the theory of nonassociative algebras with emphasis on applications and relations with associated geometries (e.g. simple non-associative algebras, gradings and identities on Lie algebras, algebraic cycles and Schubert calculus on the associated homogeneous spaces). This is a joint event of the Atlantic Algebra Center (AAC) together with the Network of Ontario Lie Theorists (NOLT), which continues the successful collaboration between AAC and NOLT. It will include several introductory mini-courses and talks given…

The ECCC is an annual conference designed to support and bring together researchers in mathematics and computer science interested in all aspects of combinatorics. A unique feature is the workshop like atmosphere which encourages active collaboration and participation of faculty and students while highlighting major theoretical advances and applications in the area. In addition to plenary talks, the conference will features contributed talks presented by faculty, students, and post-docs.

This workshop will clarify the relationship between Agent Based Models (ABMs) and familiar equations from mathematical ecology. This is a hands-on workshop where participants will run and analyze computer code. Mathematical approximations to ABMs are valuable because they (1) reduce computational time to facilitate a more thorough model investigation, (2) eliminate some complexity from the model description to yield clearer results, and (3) reveal parallels with the existing mathematical ecology literature. The workshop is open to all interested registrants, with…

This symposium will explore the analysis and application of game theoretical models to problems in evolutionary ecology. Special emphasis is placed on the dynamics of strategy change, as in evolutionary systems payoffs to players change the distribution of strategies in future generations and (under ecological constraints) payoff matrices may change in response. The properties of evolutionary game-theoretic models will be discussed, with applications to questions in eco-evolutionary dynamics, coevolution, sexual selection, parental care, and other areas. Speakers are drawn from…

CANSSI National Case Study Competition 2019
Judging for the Atlantic regional participants in the 2019 CANSSI National Case Study Competition will take place at UNB Fredericton on Wednesday, October 9 from 4-7pm. This datathon gives opportunities for students to undertake creative modelling in a real-world problem involving the analysis of big data. Participants in the two teams that can come up with best prediction models for delays on BC Ferries can win prizes of $300/team, and a trip to Simon Fraser University for the national competition.…

Borders in public health and mathematical epidemiology
Most research in Mathematical Epidemiology focuses on infectious disease characteristics within local, isolated populations and geographic regions. However, infectious diseases are not confined to small regions. They cross borders, affecting multiple populations, jurisdictions, and governments. This workshop aims to foster mathematical models of infectious diseases across borders and at the intersection of mathematics and public health. An important component of this workshop is the inclusion of infectious disease modellers that work in local, federal, and global health organizations. The workshop…

Surface Braid Groups and Mapping Class Groups
Mini course by Professor Paolo Bellingeri Université de Caen Surface braid groups are a natural generalization of classical braid groups and of fundamental groups of surfaces. They were first defined by Zariski during the 1930's (although braid groups on the sphere had been considered much earlier by Hurwitz), and they were re-discovered during the 1960's in the study of mapping class groups and configuration spaces. These groups, introduced as an "algebraic" tool, turned out to be very difficult to understand.…

The objective of the Data Visualization Competition is to highlight the community-wide benefits of open data, including identifying potential improvements to government services and procedures, and recognizing potential business opportunities. The event is designed to help educate and communicate the benefits and growth opportunities from visualization your data. All levels of government, academia and industry have large amounts of data available to the public through open data portals and this event promotes the use of this resource. Competitors will analyze,…
