Scientific, Summer School
Mathematics for Biological Networks
May 10 – June 2, 2010
University of Victoria
The course will focus on models of neuronal networks and infectious diseases on networks. The first half of the course will introduce deterministic models of infectious diseases, then proceed to network models. Some case studies of particular...

PIMS/AMI/GMU Seminar
May 10, 2010
University of Alberta
Morphogens (ligands) are molecular substances synthesized at some localized source and bound to cell surface receptors and other molecules as they are transported away from their source. The concentration gradients of different morphogen-receptor...

Pacific North West Number Theory Conference 2010
May 8–9, 2010
Simon Fraser University
The Pacific North West Number Theory Conference is an annual number theory conference bringing together the number theory groups from western Canada and the northwestern United States. See http://www.cecm.sfu.ca/~nbruin/pnwntc2010.
Scientific, Conference
Western Canada Linear Algebra Meeting
May 7–9, 2010
Banff, Alberta
Research and development in linear algebra include theory, algorithm design, and applications in several disciplines. There is an unusual strength in this subject area among the PIMS universities. This has been fostered by the biennial WCLAM meetings...
Scientific, Distinguished Lecture
PIMS/AMI/GMU/China Institute Distinguished Visitor Lecture
May 7, 2010
University of Alberta
Multi-scale asymptotic methods are investigated for the parabolic equation with rapidly oscillating coefficients arising from heat transfer in composite or porous media. For the dual-phase-lag heat transfer model in composite media, we first applied...

University of Washington
Scientific, Distinguished Lecture
PIMS/AMI/GMU/China Institute Lecture: Multi-scale modelling and Computation
May 5, 2010
University of Alberta
In recent years, multi-scale modeling and computation have been widely used in the study of complex problems arising from science and engineering. The first lecture begins with an introduction of homogenization and main idea of multi-scale methods...
Scientific, Seminar
PIMS/AMI Seminar: A stochastic min-driven coalescence process and its hydrodynamical limit
May 3, 2010
University of Alberta
A stochastic system of particles is considered in which the sizes of the particles increase by successive binary mergers with the constraint that each coagulation event involves a particle with minimal size. Convergence of a suitably renormalised...

First Montreal Spring School in Graph Theory
May 2–29, 2010
McGill University
The McGill Spring School in Graph Theory is organized by Bruce Reed and will take place at McGill University in Montreal from May 2nd to 29th, 2010. The school will consist of (i) a 20-lecture course given by Bruce Reed on structural results obtained...
