CMS Special Session: Categories and Topology
The purpose of this session is to bring together researchers from category theory and various branches of topology. This includes categorical aspects and approaches to homotopy theory, such as Quillen Model Categories, higher-dimensional categories and (higher) topos theory, homotopy type theory, as well as categorical approaches to differential geometry, such as tangent categories. In Canada, there are several research groups involved in these lines of scientific inquiry, several of which include researchers in Atlantic Canada, and we believe that a…

As part of the CMS Summer Meeting, an Education Session on the subject of Active Learning in Undergraduate Mathematics Classrooms will feature a variety of talks from invited regional speakers. Talks will be scheduled in 30-minute slots on Saturday June 2 and Sunday June 3, addressing the theory of active learning as well as various ideas and techniques in early-year and upper-year undergraduate math courses.

I will be organizing a special session on PDEs at the CMS Summer Meeting which is to be held at UNB, Fredericton this June. I plan to invite several postdocs and graduate students (some are from Atlantic Canadian Universities) to give talks and participate in the session as well as as relevant sessions in the meeting. AARMS funding will help these graduate students and postdocs (several are from Atlantic universities) to cover some of the local and travel expenses. Students…

The CMS session at Fredericton will focus on nonlinear problems related to the study of phase transitions in condensed matter, and of dynamical systems arising in biological applications. The analysis of the models presented will be based on calculus of variations methods, geometric analysis of nonlocal problems, and dimension-reduction methods in nonlinear evolution equations. The session will provide a forum for junior scientists, who have already shown an ability to make significant contributions to the area, to present and discuss…

This session at the Summer 2018 Meeting of the Canadian Mathematical Society will span all aspects of the mathematics behind quantum information theory. The session will foster interaction between researchers working in a variety of fields, including matrix analysis,operator theory, and mathematical physics. The session will allow for the exchange of ideas and dissemination of recent results. It will take place over two of the three days of the Meeting, with an estimated 16 speakers.

The 15th International Conference on Quantum Physics and Logic (QPL 2018) will take place at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Canada, from June 3–7, 2018. QPL is an annual conference that brings together researchers working on mathematical foundations of quantum physics, quantum computing, and related areas, with a focus on structural perspectives and the use of logical tools, ordered algebraic and category-theoretic structures, formal languages, semantical methods, and other computer science techniques applied to the study of physical behaviour in general.…

The summer school is intended for graduate students and promising undergraduate students from all parts of the world. Each participant is expected to register for at least two of the four courses. Each course consists of three hours lecture sessions per day for two weeks. These are graduate courses approved by University of Prince Edward Island and we will facilitate transfer credit to the extent possible.

The 34th Conference on the Mathematical Foundations of Programming Semantics (MFPS 2018) will take place at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Canada, from June 6–9, 2018. MFPS conferences are dedicated to the areas of mathematics, logic, and computer science that are related to models of computation in general, and to semantics of programming languages in particular. This is a forum where researchers in mathematics and computer science can meet and exchange ideas. The participation of researchers in neighbouring areas is strongly…
