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...
Scientific, Distinguished Lecture
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...
Scientific, Seminar
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...

Scientific, Conference
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...
Scientific, Conference
2010 Canadian Conference on Computational Geometry
August 9–11, 2010
University of Manitoba
The focus of the conference is on current topics in discrete and computational geometry, including both theoretical and applied results. CCCG has been held annually since 1989; as of 2010, CCCG will have been hosted at sixteen different Canadian...
Scientific, Summer School
West Coast Algebraic Topology Summer School
August 8–15, 2010
University of Oregon, Eugene, Oregon
Participants and the organizing committee will give lectures, with plenty of time for other activities (exercise sessions, reading groups, impromptu lectures). There is no registration fee for this event, but we ask all who are interested in coming...
