Introduction to SageMath, a free mathematics software system
SageMath is free and open-source mathematical software which started in 2004. Its features cover many aspects of mathematics, from basic arithmetic and calculus to advanced research mathematics in algebra,mcombinatorics, numerical mathematics...

PIMS-SFU CSC Seminar: Klaus Altmann
The approach of Nigel Gay for estimating the coverage of multivalent vaccine (MMR = measles, mumps, rubella) out antibody prevalence data leads to a polynomial system of equations of degree six describing a generically 2:1 covering of the 7...

Fall 2017 UBC-SFU Joint Statistics Seminar
The idea of this event is to offer graduate students in Statistics and Actuarial Science with an opportunity to attend a seminar with accessible talks providing them an introduction to active areas of research in the field. For three students from...

PIMS- SFU CSC Seminar: Mike Irvine
The rapid increase of fentanyl and fentanyl analogues in British Columbia has led to a public health emergency being declared and a rapid increase in overdoses and overdose-related deaths in the province. Numerous interventions have been proposed in...

PIMS/CSC Research Seminar-Hui Huang
We study the propagation of chaos for the N-particle chemotaxis system subject to the Brownian diffusion. More precisely, we present a probabilistic proof of the distance between the exact microscopic and the approximate mean-field dynamics, which...

PIMS-SFU CSC Seminar -Roland Herzog
Optimization problems with sparsity enhancing norms have helped enable the tremendous success of computational compressed sensing techniques in the past decade, where the goal is to recover a signal from a small number of measurements. In this...

Fall 2017 West Coast Optimization Meeting
The West Coast Optimization Meeting (WCOM) has a long tradition as a regional meeting bringing together scientists working in optimization and related areas. This will be third time SFU has hosted this meeting. Last year's meeting at UBC featured 8...

PIMS-SFU CSC Seminar: Zirui Zhou
Error bounds, which refer to inequalities that bound the distance of vectors in a test set to a given set by a residual function, have proven to be extremely useful in analyzing the convergence rates of a host of iterative methods for solving...

PIMS-SFU CSC Distinguished Lecture: Mayya Tokman
Computer simulations of the dynamics of complex systems have become an integral tool of science and engineering. Large scale numerical models of systems evolving over a wide range of temporal and spatial scales are routinely encountered in a variety...

PIMS-SFU CSC Seminar: Bernie Shizgal

A spectral method for the solution of integral and differential equations is generally understood to be an expansion of the solution in a Fourier series. Chebyshev polynomials are often the preferred basis set for many problems. In kinetic theory...
