Nominations are now open for the second UBC Mathematics and Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences Faculty Award.

This prize was created by two founding donors, Anton Kuipers and Darrell Duffie, to recognize UBC researchers for their leading edge work in mathematics or its applications in the sciences.
