Acadia Math Buffet
Acadia's Math Buffets are a chance for students in grades 9- 12 in Hants, Kings and Annapolis counties to explore new and interactive topics in mathematics. In these 2-hour sessions, students will learn about a variety of math topics, such as networks, Google page rank, cryptography, problem solving and how to win at darts.

Induced subgraphs and treewidth Speaker: Sophie Spirkl, University of Waterloo Abstract: Treewidth is a measure of the complexity of a graph and has both structural and algorithmic consequences. While results of Robertson and Seymour characterize which minors appear in graphs of large treewidth, the same question is still open for induced subgraphs. I will present some recent results towards an answer to this question, in particular, about when excluding a finite set of induced subgraphs leads to the answer being…

39th Annual New Brunswick Mathematics Competition
The provincial New Brunswick Math Competition is a bilingual math competition that takes place in May each year. Students in grades 7-9 from across the province (approximately 1,100 students) attend one of five university locations to simultaneously write the one-hour math competition. There are three competition papers according to grade; each available in both English and French. Following the competition in the morning, students attend enrichment activities held at the universities; awards are distributed at all locations late afternoon. The…

The School of Mathematical and Computational Science (SMCS) is once again organizing the UPEI-CMS-AARMS Regional Math Camp, to be held at UPEI between May 10 – May 12, 2024. We anticipate hosting some of the most talented grade 10 and grade 11 math students from across the Island. This year, we expect to invite 20-25 students. We offer students an opportunity to participate in challenging, intellectual activities with their peers, guided by the UPEI SMCS faculty members. The students will…

The East Coast Combinatorics Conference is a 2-day annual event that brings together researchers in graph theory, design theory, and other areas of combinatorics. There will be two plenary speakers, and a number of contributed talks, in addition to opportunities for collaboration. The event brings together established researchers and those in the early stages of their academic careers and provides opportunities for subsequent collaborative research projects. We encourage participation by students since they greatly benefit from the opportunity to meet…

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…

With support from the Canadian Mathematical Society and the Atlantic Association for Research in the Mathematical Sciences, the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of New Brunswick (Fredericton) hosts a three-day, two-night Math Camp. The camp gives a select number of Grade 10 students who are keenly interested in mathematics the opportunity to come stay on the Fredericton Campus, meet fellow students from across the province who share a love of mathematics, and enjoy solving challenging problems together,…

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…
