Collectively, the number theorists taken from the principal mathematics departments in Alberta -- at the universities of Alberta, Calgary and Lethbridge -- form a very strong group, with researchers being recognized not just in Canada, but globally...

Instructors will spend a day or two sharing information and current events and developments in the mathematical sciences in Alberta colleges and universities, and hear research presentations and pedagogical talks. The participants are new and...

The Cascade Topology Seminar is supported in part by grants from the National Science Foundation, the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences, and is a Mathematical Sciences Research Institute MER Network Conference. The support of these...

Many statistics researchers in the Pacific North-West affiliated with PIMS universities work in the area of environmetrics: climate change and its impacts, agriculture, forestry, fisheries, etc. The aim of this workshop is to discuss the idea of...

The Combinatorial Potlatch is an irregularly scheduled, floating, one-day conference. It has been held for many years at various locations around Puget Sound and southern British Columbia, and is an opportunity for combinatorialists in the region to...

Reinhard Illner (University of Victoria), Traffic flow and traffic jams: from kinetic theory to functional differential equations I will speak on certain kinetic and macroscopic models of traffic flow. After a review of the concept of a fundamental...

The Cascade Topology Seminar is a bi-annual gathering of topologists from the Pacific Northwest and Southwestern Canada.

The Northwest Functional Analysis Seminar (NWFAS) is a bi-annual regional scientific meeting of researchers (faculty and postdoctoral) and graduate students in functional analysis. Participants are drawn from universities in Western Canada and the...
