SUMMARY:Black Educators' Association - Dalhousie Math Camp
DESCRIPTION: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 codes\, and the application of algebra to solve puzzles. The Coding sessions cover Scratch\, a programming environment suitable for youth.

SUMMARY:Junior Math and Computer Science Camp
DESCRIPTION: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 positively engaging students with mathematics and computer science at a critical time in their education. Bursaries are provided for those who qualify for financial assistance.

SUMMARY:Dalhousie Math Camp 2024
DESCRIPTION:The Dalhousie Math Camp is an annual event\, held for one week in early July. We will accept 20 participants into the program\, 10 female and 10 male\, that are entering eleventh or twelfth grade in the following school year. We reach out to schools across Nova Scotia and ask for nominations of two students that are enthusiastic and hard working. The students stay and have their meals at the dormitories at Dalhousie for a week and attend seminars in both the morning and afternoon. They have access to the Dalplex recreational facility between the afternoon sessions and dinner. We also plan to have excursions into the city to see and do various different extracurricular activities throughout the math camp period. In addition to exposing students to high level mathematics\, tailored to their level\, they also get the experience of living on a university campus\, and exploring some of Halifax.

SUMMARY:Diversity in the Mathematical Sciences 2024
DESCRIPTION:The goals of the summer school are two-fold. First\, to introduce students to research level mathematics and second\, to encourage more female and female-identifying students to pursue graduate school in the mathematical sciences. The research theme of the 2024 summer school will be Combinatorial Commutative Algebra\, as described below. By introducing the advanced mathematics in a supportive and engaging environment\, we aim to give students the tools and the support structure that will enable them to thrive in graduate school.

SUMMARY:Diversity in the Mathematical Sciences 2024
DESCRIPTION:Objectives: The mathematical institutes in Canada have joined forces to offer annual summer schools geared toward women and underrepresented groups in mathematics and related sciences. The first school will be at Dalhousie University in Summer 2024. \nThe goals of the summer school are two-fold. First\, to introduce students to research level mathematics and second\, to encourage more female and female-identifying students to pursue graduate school in the mathematical sciences. The research theme of the 2024 summer school will be Combinatorial Commutative Algebra\, as described below. By introducing the advanced mathematics in a supportive and engaging environment\, we aim to give students the tools and the support structure that will enable them to thrive in graduate school. \nSynopsis: The main tools to study zero sets of polynomials using algebraic tools come from Commutative Algebra. When the polynomials have only one term – monomials – one can use methods from combinatorics\, topology\, linear programing and more to study their algebraic properties. The development of such techniques\, going back to the 1960’s and still a vibrant area of research today\, is the focus of the field of Combinatorial Commutative Algebra. \nOur school will introduce some of these ideas to the participants via concrete examples and problems. We will cover topics including: edge ideals of graphs\, Hilbert functions\, computational commutative algebra and discrete homotopy theory. \nThe school will also include panels\, discussions of graduate school\, academic and nonacademic jobs and issues facing women in mathematics in general. We will have morning lectures\, afternoon tutorials and mini-topics. \nWe are seeking applications from female and female-identifying students who have finished at least two years of an undergraduate degree in the mathematical sciences. \nRequired background: Applicants having successfully completed a Honour’s-level proof-based course in linear algebra will be given full consideration. A third-year course in algebra covering rings and ideals will be considered an asset. \nApplicants should submit transcripts\, and arrange for a letter of recommendation addressing their potential to benefit from this school. \nFunding: The Summer School will cover room and board as well as travel expenses for all participants.
