Statistics Seminar: Nathaniel Newlands (AAFC)
September 20, 2010
University of British Columbia
Natural resource problems typically must be modeled using data that is often incomplete, asynchronous and collected at different spatial and temporal scales with differing levels of measurement uncertainty. Both deterministic and stochastic models...

Topology Seminar: Joel Friedman (UBC)
September 15, 2010
University of British Columbia
In these talks we describe our proofs of the Hanna Neumann Conjecture. This conjecture of the late 1950's can be described both as a problem in group theory or as one in graph theory. Our first proof is longer and interprets the problem using...

SCAIM Seminar: Brian Wetton (UBC)
September 14, 2010
University of British Columbia
Implicit time stepping applied to discretized incompressible fluid flow problems results in discrete Stokes-like (saddle-point, KKT) problems. There is a class of so-called Projection Methods in which these Stokes-like problems are efficiently...

Algebraic Geometry Seminar: Zheng Hua (UBC)
September 13, 2010
University of British Columbia
I will present a joint work with Behrend. For any smooth projective variety, we construct a differential graded scheme (stack) structure on the moduli space of complexes of coherent sheaves. The construction uses the Hochschild cochain complex of A...

Modeling Biochemical Reaction Networks (videoconference)
September 8 – December 9, 2010
University of Lethbridge
This course is an introduction to the modeling of biochemical reactions and reaction networks. Starting from an elementary discussion of biochemical reactions, basic concepts of biochemical modeling will be presented. Ordinary differential equation...

Topology Seminar: Gorenstein dimension and proper actions
August 20, 2010
University of British Columbia
Gedrich and Gruenberg(1987)and Ikenaga(1984) studied the algebraic invariants silp ZG,the supremum of the injective lengths of the projective ZG-modules,and spli,the supremum of the projective lengths of the injective ZG-modules,in connection with...

Mathematical Biology Seminar: Synchronized Oscillation for Segmentation Clock Gene of Zebrafish
August 17, 2010
University of British Columbia
Somitogenesis is a process for the development of somites which are transient, segmental structures that lie along the anterior-posterior axis of vertebrate embryos. The pattern of somites is traced out by the ``segmentation clock genes" which...

New Trends in Noncommutative Algebra
August 10–14, 2010
University of Washington
The conference is in part a celebration of the past, present and future contributions to mathematics of Ken Goodearl. While the central connecting theme is noncommutative algebra, there will be coverage of the broad connections of this subject with...
