St. Francis Xavier University Math Camp
2017-05-19 - 2017-05-21 | St. Francis Xavier University, Antigonish, Nova Scotia, Canada
The Department of Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science (MSCS) at St. Francis Xavier University (StFX) will be hosting a Math Camp to begin on Friday May 19 and end on Sunday May 21, 2017. The camp has the support of the Canadian Mathematical Society (CMS), the Atlantic Association for Research in the Mathematical Sciences (AARMS), and St. Francis Xavier University.
This Camp is the fourth of a recurring series of annual Math Camps to be held at StFX. These Camps are designed for students in grades 10 and 11 students. The goal of the Math Camps is to provide students in Nova Scotia with opportunities for personal growth in the mathematical sciences within a supportive environment.
The camp will consist of lectures to be delivered by experienced instructors from StFX, and fun filled activities to include: math relays, math trivia, problem solving, and games. Participation in the Camp is by invitation only. School Principals or designates will be requested to nominate two students (grades 10 and 11 only) per school. Selection of participants will be made from the list of nominees.

Blundon Seminar Camp at Memorial
2017-05-14 - 2017-05-19 | Memorial University (St. John’s Campus), St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada
The Blundon seminar is our annual three-day event for senior high school students who are interested in mathematics and demonstrate consistently good performance in mathematics competitions. Participation in the seminar is by invitation only based on the results of preceding Blundon, Euclid, Fermat,and Cayley contests. Each year we have 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 other activities such as Mathletics and Papers Chase. The winner of Blundon Contest is presented with the Blundon Shield, and the winners of other contests are also presented with money and book prizes. The awards for the best results in mathematics competitions are presented during the banquet, where a collective photo is taken as well.
The first Blundon seminar took place in May 1982. It is named after professor W.J. Blundon who was the first head of the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at MUN, and an avid problem solver. This seminar traditionally combines intellectual and fun/sport components. According to students responses collected after each seminar this event is enjoyable, informative, and memorable for many of them. It also plays a significant role in the recruitment of the best student for their further studies at MUN.
Many of former participants continue to show a great success during their graduate studies of mathematics in other universities including University of Toronto, U of Waterloo, and UBC. Several of our current faculty members were participants of the seminar in the past.

35th Annual New Brunswick Mathematics Competition
2017-05-12 | New Brunswick, New Brunswick, Canada
The Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of New Brunswick and the Faculty of Science and Faculty of Engineering of l’Université de Moncton invite students inGrades 7, 8 and 9 of the Province of New Brunswick to participate in the Thirty-fifth Annual Mathematics Competition to be held on FRIDAY, MAY 12, 2017.
It should be noted that the Competition will be written on the same day and at the same time on the campuses of l’Université de Moncton at Moncton, Edmundston and Shippagan and on both the Fredericton and Saint John campuses of the University of New Brunswick. The exam will be available in both French and English at all five campuses, and it is intended to identify provincial winners by combining the results from the five locations. The additional activities provided on the day of the exam will be in English only at the University of New Brunswick, in French only at the Edmundston and Shippagan campuses of l’Université de Moncton and in both languages at the Moncton campus.

University of New Brunswick Math Camp
2017-05-12 - 2017-05-14 | University of New Brunswick (Fredericton Campus), Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada
The annual UNB-CMS Spring Math Camp, for Grade 10 and 11 students, starts on the same day (a Friday in May) as the annual NB Math Competition. The camp is by invitation with selection based, primarily, on performance in the NB Math Competition. Students work on math problems (some fun, some quite challenging); they hear interesting talks about mathematics, and applications of mathematics; they get to know some UNB profs; they live in residence for the weekend; they go home on Sunday afternoon.

Hopf Algebras and their Generalizations from a Categorical Point of View
2017-05-06 - 2017-05-10 | Memorial University (St. John’s Campus), St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada
Folklore says that Hopf algebras are distinguished algebras whose representation category admits a closed monoidal structure. In the mini course we will discuss generalizations of bialgebras and Hopf algebras based on this principle.

University of PEI Math Camp
2017-05-05 - 2017-05-07 | University of Prince Edward Island, Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada
This Math Camp is an initiative of the School of Mathematical and Computational Sciences, in association with the Canadian Mathematical Society and the Atlantic Association for Research in the Mathematical Sciences. The first Math Camp at UPEI took place in 2002, and has been held annually since then. Math Camp brings to campus a group of top grade 10 and 11 students, who spend a weekend participating in a variety of math-related activities, such as group problem solving, math relays, math trivia and sessions with faculty. The goals are to give the students an opportunity to broaden their mathematical horizons and to encourage them to continue their math studies at university.
