The electrophysiology in a cardiac cell can be modelled as a system of ordinary differential equations. The efficient solution of these systems is important because they must be solved billions of times as sub-problems of organ-level simulations. The...

Humankind's fascination with the mathematical constant pi goes well beyond practical need. In fact, even though over five trillion decimal places of pi has been calculated, a mere four decimal places are sufficient for the design of the world's...

The University of Calgary has been an international leader in developing experiments that involve imaging the aurora. At present, UofC has more than 50 instruments deployed across the Canadian Arctic. This network takes images and other measurements...

The IMA, in collaboration with Mprime and PIMS, is holding a 10-day workshop on Mathematical Modeling in Industry in Calgary, Canada. The workshop is designed to provide graduate students and qualified advanced undergraduates with first hand...

When computing numerical approximations to problems with smooth solutions using regular grids, the error can have additional structure. The historical example of the Euler-McLaurin formula for the approximation of integrals with the trapezoidal rule...

A common problem in seismic interpretation is the search for discontinuities such as faults. The usual approach to identifying these features is the coherency method (Bahorich and Farmer, 1995). The phase congruency algorithm detects corners and...

The 11th International Conference on Applied Cryptography and Network Security (ACNS 2013) will be held in Banff, Alberta, Canada. The conference seeks submissions from academia, industry, and government presenting novel research on all aspects of...

What do designing a hybrid vehicle engine, a microscopic description of the fission process, a groundwater remediation plan, a fast code on a modern supercomputer, and an experimental X-ray beam have in common?All are examples of challenging...

Mathematical models can help us understand the formation of complex spatial patterns, including the territories of wolves and coyotes. Here scent marks provide important cues regarding the use of space. In this talk I will show how biologically-based...
