PIMS Year in Review 2009

With this “Year in Review”, we are inaugurating a new annual publication designed to bring you a summary of the range of PIMS activities. We hope you like it and we welcome your comments and suggestions for future issues.

November 15-21, 2009 was declared Mathematical Sciences Awareness Week by the Government of British Columbia, and PIMS was mentioned prominently in the official declaration. None of our activities would have been possible without the mathematical scientists, educators, students, staff members, organizers, and participants throughout Canada and the rest of the world whose enthusiasm, talents, and dedication have helped make 2009 a year of notable accomplishments for PIMS.
