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...

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...

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...

I will describe recent joint work with Jeroen Sijsling, Drew Sutherland, John Voight and Dan Yasaki on genus 2 curves over Q. Our work has three primary goals: (1) produce an extensive table of genus 2 curves and their associated invariants; (2)...

The inmate assignment project is a highly successful prescriptive analytics project. It was conducted in close collaboration with the PA Dept. of Corrections, took five years from start to successful implementation. Our novel Inmate Assignment...

The Selected Areas in Cryptography (SAC) conference series was initiated in 1994, when the first event was held at Queen’s University in Kingston. The SAC conference has been held annually since 1994 in various Canadian locations, including Burnaby...

All standard regression models have assumptions that must be verified for the model to have power to test hypotheses and to make accurate predictions. This course will emphasize methods for assessing and satisfying the linearity and additivity...
