A video of this event is available on mathtube.org. Wavelets have been successfully applied to many areas. For high-dimensional problems such as image/video processing, separable wavelets are widely used but are known to have some shortcomings such...

Many studies have shown that the most important factor in investment success is asset allocation, as opposed to stock picking. At its most basic level, this amounts to the choice of how much to allocate to bonds and stocks.In this talk, I will...

Over $Q$ there do not exist any non-zero abelian varieties with good reduction everywhere. However, over all but six real quadratic fields they actually do exist. In this talk we determine, for certain small real quadratic fields $F$, the set of...

We will introduce the Dynamical Mordell-Lang problem by Ghioca and Tucker. After that, we explain the “orbit intersection problem” for linear spaces and semi-abelian varieties. This is joint work with Ghioca. A video of this event is available on...

Diophantine equations are one of the oldest, frequently celebrated and most abstract objects in mathematics. They crop up in areas ranging from recreational mathematics and puzzles, to cryptography, error correcting codes, and even in studying the...

In the history of philosophy, much has been made of the disagreements between W. V. O. Quine and Rudolf Carnap on the nature of mathematical and scientific knowledge. But when the dust settles, the points of agreement are more substantial...

In quantum mechanics d-partite systems are presented by d-mode tensors.Unentangled states are rank one tensors. Entangled states can be characterized their rank > 1, their spectral norm 1 or their nuclear norm > 1. In this talk I will discuss...

CUCSC is a conference aimed at undergraduates to present and innovate research from fellow professors and current students. This conference intends to build relationships between students across Canada and to showcase amazing work that each talented...

The University of Calgary Biostatistics Centre (UCBC), a centre within the O'Brien Institute for Public Health, is hosting a day-long event on data visualization. Data visualization shows patterns and complex relationships in data. It is a critical...
