Recent advances in condensed matter physics have ushered in a new era of cross-fertilization between mathematics and physics. The study of topological materials, a radically new class of quantum materials discovered in the mid-2000s and the subject...

Time: 3:00pm PDT Location: Online Math provides us with mental tools of incredible power. When we learn math we learn to see patterns, to think logically and systematically, to draw analogies, to perceive risk, to understand cause and effect--among...

The Schramm-Loewner evolution (SLE) is a random fractal curve in the plane that describes the scaling limit of interfaces in several statistical physics models. It is uniquely characterized by two properties known as conformal invariance and the...

It has been well established that the mechanical stiffness of the substrate with which cells interact affects various intracellular processes, including cell spread areas, speeds at which motile cells translocate, and the number and strength of cell...

Due to uncertainties resulting from COVID-19, this event will now be hosted online. More details will be posted here as they becomes available. Hosted for a Third year by PIMS, Diversity in Mathematics is part of a multi-year, multi-level program...

Onine Undergraduate Summer School Eligibility Requirements: The online summer school is open to female-identifying, non- binary and two- spirit undergraduate students studying mathematics or a related discipline such as computer science, physics and...

Online High School math camp Application Information: Due to COVID-19, we are moving this camp entirely ONLINE! Application deadline extended to July 10, 2020. Are you in grade 10, 11 or 12? Do you find math stimulating and fun? Do you want to...

Malaria is a leading cause of death in many low-income countries despite being preventable, treatable and curable. One of the major roadblocks to malaria elimination is the emergence and spread of antimalarial drug resistance, which evolves when...

Due to the current health crisis and restrictions to movement globally, this event has now been postponed. All confirmed participants will be contacted by the organizers Non-archimedean geometry is the analogue of complex geometry, where the field of...

Systemic chemotherapy is one of the main anticancer treatments used for most kinds of clinically diagnosed tumors. However, the efficacy of these drugs can be hampered by the physical attributes of the tumor tissue, such as tortuous vasculature...
