The SFU-UBC Joint Graduate Student Workshop in Statistics is going into its 11th year. This is the first of two seminars to take place this school year; the one in Fall is organized by graduate students from SFU and the one in Spring is organized by...

The Birnbaum Lecture in Probability will be delivered by Balint Virag (University of Toronto) in 2015.Northwest Probability Seminars are mini-conferences held at the University of Washington and/or Microsoft Research and organized in collaboration...

The organizers ( Heinz Bauschke, Warren Hare, Yves Lucet, and Shawn Wang) are pleased to host the West Coast Optimization Meeting (WCOM) this Fall in Kelowna, BC at UBC Okanagan. All talks take place on campus. Please check back at the official...

Interesting mathematics arises in many areas of the study of sea ice and its role in climate. Partial differential equations, numerical analysis, dynamical systems and bifurcation theory, diffusion processes, percolation theory, homogenization and...

This conference aims to bring together applied topologists and spatial statisticians that are curious about each-other's work. We anticipate having two relatively-distinct groups: 1) topologists that have been working with applied algebraic...

This workshop is organized around some interrelated themes in algebraic and equivariant topology such as: torus-equivariant topology and GKM theory; K-theory of toric manifolds; (rational) homotopy theory of toric spaces; arrangements of hyperplanes...

Discrete mathematics is a branch of math that has applications to computer science. It includes the study of networks, experimental design, and the encoding of data. The prairie provinces have a number of strong research groups within this field. The...

The SFU Mathematics Department invites undergraduate and graduate research students to participate in the 2015 SFU Symposium on Mathematics and Computation Poster Competition. Posters will be judged in two catergories - graduate and undergraduate -...

The focus of the workshop was to present latest results and open problems related to partial differential equation models (PDE) whose solutions exhibit complex spatio-temporal dynamics. A fundamental technique to understand these dynamics is to...
