Atlantic Topological Quantum Field Theory Spring School 2024
Topological Quantum Field Theory lives at the intersection of category theory, algebraic topology, representation theory, and theoretical physics. Physically, TQFTs describe and control the symmetries of quantum systems, including quantum symmetries, anomalous symmetries, and higher-form symmetries. Mathematically, TQFTs provide a dictionary between manifold topology and structures in representation theory, and as such allow computations and results to move between these separate fields. This school, aimed at early- to mid-career graduate students, will consist of three 5-hour minicourses related to TQFTs,…

The Blundon Seminar is an annual math camp for senior high school students from Newfoundland who are interested in mathematics and demonstrate consistently good performance in mathematics competitions. Participation in the math camp is by invitation only based on the results of preceding Blundon, COMC, Euclid, Fermat, and Cayley contests. Usually we invite 35 - 50 students. During the seminar the students attend talks given by mathematics professors on various mathematical topics and applications in science and engineering. There are…

The purpose of this workshop is to bring together high school and university instructors from across the Atlantic region to discuss evidence-based pedagogy and innovative instructional methodologies used in introductory calculus courses. From these discussions, we aim to better understand the needs of students in our region, and develop course structures and resources which address these needs in our universities and high schools. This year the focus topic is "Expressing Mathematics in a Meaningful Way". Students often have difficulty communicating…

Canadian Statistics Student Conference 2024
The Canadian Statistics Student Conference (CSSC) is a national conference organized by students that aims to provide opportunities for students and recent graduates in statistics-related fields to network with one another, present their research, and engage in a variety of discussions. This year, the conference will take place on Saturday, June 1, 2024 at Memorial University in St. John’s, Newfoundland. It will consist of undergraduate and graduate oral and poster presentations, a skills-based workshop, a career panel, a keynote talk,…

In order to improve the visibility of female researchers in commutative algebra and to give them an opportunity to enlarge and strengthen their scientific networks, we are hosting a 5-day collaborative research workshop entitled “Women in Commutative Algebra III” (or ”WICA III”). The major objectives of the workshop are to advance commutative algebra through cutting-edge re-search; promote the research of women in commutative algebra; facilitate collaborative interaction between junior and senior mathematicians, which includes bolstering leadership among women researchers, and…

The annual Atlantic General Relativity Conference (AGR) will be held at the University of New Brunswick , scheduled for June 18-19, 2024. The Atlantic General Relativity Conference series of meetings has been a regular and annual feature of the Atlantic GR community for nearly three decades. This series of meetings focusses on recent developments in all aspects of classical and quantum gravity. The first day of the meeting will be dedicated to postdoctoral fellows giving introductory lectures on different subtopics…

The Indigenous Math Camp is a new camp that will run this coming summer at Dalhousie's department of Mathematics and Statistics. The premise is to give indigenous Nova junior high students a real university experience mathematics and open up the doorway to careers in STEM. The campers will stay in Dalhousie residences. The campers are br two groups that change between the Mathematics sessions and the Coding sessions each day. The two teaching teams (one for Math and one for…

Black Educators’ Association – Dalhousie Math Camp
The BEA/DAL Math Camp offers African-Nova Scotian junior high school youth, a math-based real university experience, to open doorways to STEM careers. The campers are broken into two groups that change between Mathematics sessions and Coding sessions. Each session has a black high school teacher paired with a university teacher as instructors. A puzzle-based approach is proposed for the Math sessions. In these sessions campers will explore topics like logic puzzles, counting based card tricks, binary numbers & error correcting…

This week-long day camp is an opportunity for students entering grades 5 or 6 in the Annapolis Valley to participate in fun and enriching science-based activities with Acadia faculty and students to develop their curiosity and enjoyment of mathematics, statistics, and computer science. It represents an important piece of a multi-year plan to develop the mathematics skills of young students in the Annapolis Valley by bringing young students into the Acadia University outreach program. This will begin the process of…
