AARMS-Girl Guides STEM Camp
The Atlantic Association for Research in the Mathematical Sciences (AARMS) is hosting a camp for the Girl Guides, Pathfinders and Rangers of New Brunswick and PEI on the University of New Brunswick’s Fredericton (UNBF) campus on May 12-13, 2018. During this event, approximately 525 girls aged 9-17 will participate in mini-workshop sessions aimed at increasing awareness and engagement in Science - Technology - Engineering - Mathematics (STEM) disciplines. This is the first in a series of planned events spanning Atlantic…

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 camp is scheduled for May 18-20, 2018 and will be residential in nature. The camp is planned for 28 students in grade 10 and 11 and 3 university students who will serve as chaperones. Invitations will be sent to high schools in Nova Scotia for nominations of maximum per school of two students. The students will be expected to be academically strong and enthusiastic, with strong aptitude for mathematics. In addition to the criteria listed above, selection of the…

This two-day workshop is an opportunity for calculus instructors from across Atlantic Canada to come together and discuss evidence-based pedagogy and innovative instructional methodologies used in introductory calculus courses. Following a morning of contributed research talks each day, participants will have the opportunity to attend an afternoon of workshops to discuss the morning’s talks and collaborate on creating a common framework of calculus concepts and course materials to address the needs of students in our region.

Foundational Methods in Computer Science is an annual workshop that brings together researchers in theoretical computer science and category theory. Past workshops have had discussions on areas such as quantum programming languages, restriction categories, database design, and the differential and resource logics. They have been held at Colgate, Dalhousie, Kananaskis (U of Calgary), Mount Allison, Ottawa, UBC, Spokane, and Portland. The 2018 workshop is informal and interdisciplinary. The scientific program consists of research tutorials and contributed talks. We particularly encourage…

The annual meeting for the AARMS CRG on Dynamical systems and spatial models in ecology will take place on May 31, 2018, at the University of New Brunswick, just prior to the Canadian Mathematical Society (CMS) summer meeting (June 1-4). The CRG workshop will support continued collaboration in areas related to integrodifference equations, partial differential equations, population dynamics and will consider specific applications to bacterial aggregation, sea lice, and green crab. Confirmed participants include graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and faculty…

2018 CMS Summer Meeting
The Canadian Mathematical Society (CMS) welcomes and invites session proposals for the 2018 CMS Summer Meeting in Fredericton from June 1 to 4, 2018. Proposals should include a brief description of the focus and purpose of the session, the expected number of speakers, as well as the organizer’s name, complete address, telephone number, e-mail address, etc. Sessions will be advertised in the CMS Notes, on the web site and in the AMS Notices. Speakers will be requested to submit abstracts,…

We will be organizing the session " Ergodic Theory, Dynamical Systems, Fractals and Applications" at 2018 CMS Summer Meeting at UNB. Dynamical systems are mathematical models of many real-world problems and they provide a useful framework for analyzing various physical, engineering, health science, social and economic phenomena. Ergodic theory and Fractals play important roles for the theoretical development in discrete time dynamical systems. Invariant measures of dynamical systems reflect their longterm behaviour and play an important role in understanding their…

Placement games are a class of combinatorial games (two-player, perfect information) that have received renewed attention recently. Well known examples are Hex, Domineering, and Snort. Work on placement games can be divided into two main streams - studies focusing on a specific game and those looking at properties of the entire class. The latter approach is in particular new. Placement games have connections to many other areas, for example graph theory, set theory, and commutative algebra. It is often feasible…
