2026 Science Atlantic Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science Conference
2026-10-23 - 2026-10-24 | Prince Edward Island
The 2026 Science Atlantic Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science Conference will take place at the University of New Brunswick Saint John (UNBSJ) during Oct 23-24, 2026. The conference will consist of a collection of plenary lectures, mathematics, statistics and computer science competitions and scientific research presentations by undergraduate and graduate students.
The conference is part of the larger annual Science Atlantic Mathematics, Statistics and Computer Science Conference series. One overall aim of this exciting conference series is to bring together undergraduate students and faculty from universities based in Atlantic Canada. In doing so, the conference series promotes scientific discovery and literacy within the Mathematical, Statistical and Computing Sciences while at the same time fostering existing and promoting new collaborative and interdisciplinary activities amongst students and faculty.

Introduction to Chow motives and applications
2026-11-09 - 2026-11-13
Grothendieck–Chow motives provide a framework for studying algebraic varieties through correspondences rather than ordinary morphisms, allowing one to isolate and compare their
essential geometric and cohomological features. They unify many classical invariants in algebraic geometry, such as Chow groups, K-theories, and oriented cohomology theories into a
single categorical setting. Motivic decompositions often reveal hidden geometric structures and symmetries of varieties, especially for quadrics and various flag varieties. This mini course will give an introduction to Grothendieck–Chow motives and their applications.
