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...

We consider the algorithmic problem of the functional decomposition of sparse polynomials. For example, (very) given a very high degree (5∗2 100)(5∗2 100) and very sparse (7 terms) polynomial like f(x)=x(5∗2 100)+15∗x(2 102+2 47)+90∗x(2 101+2 100+2...

Two seminar talks will be hosted, 9:30AM and 10:45AM, in each of the mornings of July 24, 25 and 26 in ESB 4133 Schedule Wednesday, July 24, 2024 Time: 9:30 AM Speaker: Brian Marcus, UBC and PIMS Title: Variations on Krieger's Embedding Theorem and a...

While Einstein’s theory of gravity is formulated in a smooth setting, the celebrated singularity theorems of Hawking and Penrose describe many physical situations in which this smoothness must eventually breakdown. In positive-definite signature...

The Diversity in Research Experiences Across Mathematics (DREAMs) Institute is a three-week online summer enrichment program designed to provide high school students in their last year or two of studies an opportunity to explore the pursuit of...

A proper conflict-free colouring of a graph is a (vertex-)colouring with no monochromatic edges such that for every nonisolated vertex v, the neighbourhood N(v) contains a vertex w coloured with a colour not appearing on N(v)-{w}. For a real number h...

Wind and solar power are the primary sources of renewable energy, and both driven by the weather, hence stochastic and variable. To solve the grand challenges related to their optimal deployment requires an interdisciplinary approach combining...

About FiB 2024 Frontiers in Biophysics (FiB) is a one-day interdisciplinary conference organized by students, which brings together a diverse set of perspectives and voices from the Pacific Northwest and beyond. FiB seeks to bridge gaps between those...

The University Of British Columbia is pleased to welcome undergraduates in mathematics to the 2024 Canadian Undergraduate Conference from the 8th to the 12th of July at UBC's Vancouver campus. Take the opportunity to present your research, learn from...

The International Workshop on Hyperordered Structures and Quantum Materials will be held for four days in western Canada in order to exchange ideas between researchers in the fields on both sides of the Pacific. The event will bring together...
