PIMS CRG Summer School: Deep Learning for Computational Mathematics
The purpose of this summer school is to introduce students in applied and computational mathematics to neural networks and deep learning. It will feature three days of lectures and hands-on tutorials, and be followed by a one-day workshop showcasing...

PIMS-SFU Distinguished Speaker Series in Applied & Computational Mathematics Seminar: Fernando Reitich (CANCELLED)
In this talk I will present the personal journey that the study of mathematics has allowed me to travel so far. It begins with a typical academic career, focused on research in applied mathematics, and specifically the mathematics related to the...

PIMS-SFU Applied & Computational Math Seminar: Dan Brown
Computers can be programmed to do a variety of tasks which, if a human had done them, we might identify as creative tasks. But does that mean that they themselves are creative? We examine the state of the art in computer-generated poetry, and examine...

PIMS-SFU Distinguished Speaker Series in Applied & Computational Mathematics Seminar: Randall LeVeque
A widespread approach for tsunami simulation is to model the ocean with the shallow water equations (SWE). The steady-state ocean floor deformation that results from a seismic event is often used as the initial ocean surface profile for the SWE...

Electric Journal of Combinatorics: 25th Anniversary Celebration
On May 27, 2019, the Electronic Journal of Combinatorics, a diamond-access journal founded by the late Herb Wilf and Neil Calkin, will celebrate its 25th birthday by organizing a satellite conference in conjunction with CanaDAM 2019. There will be...

Discrete Math Seminar: Curtis Bright
Solvers for the Boolean satisfiability problem have been increasingly used to solve hard problems from many fields and now routinely solve problems with millions of variables. Combinatorial problems are a natural target, as SAT solvers contain...

SFU Discrete Math Seminar: Peter Bradshaw
We explore graphs of high cop number. We give new lower bounds for cop number of graphs of high girth. We also present a new class of undirected graphs with cop number $(1-o(1)) \sqrt{n/2}$ and a class of directed graphs with cop number $(1-o(1))...

PIMS - SFU Theory Seminar: Russell Impagliazzo
A theme that cuts across many domains of computer science and mathematics is to find simple representations of complex mathematical objects such as graphs, functions, or distributions on data. These representations need to capture how the object...

PIMS-SFU Applied & Computational Mathematics Seminar: Razvan Fetecau
We consider an aggregation model that consists of an active transport equation for the macroscopic population density, where the velocity has a nonlocal functional dependence on the density, modelled via an interaction potential. We set up the model...

PIMS-SFU Applied & Computational Mathematics Seminar: Sookyung Lim
Peritrichously flagellated bacteria such as E. coli swim in a fluid environment by rotating motors embedded in the cell membrane and consequently rotating multiple helical flagella. We present a mathematical model of a microswimmer that can freely...
