When subjects are exposed to full field flicker in certain frequencies, they perceive a variety of complex geometric patterns that are often called flicker hallucinations. On the other had, when looking at high contrast geometric patterns like op art...

WCLAM provides an opportunity for researchers and mathematicians in linear algebra and related fields to meet, present accounts of their research, and hold informal discussions. Although the meeting has a regional base, it attracts a number of...

A video of this event is available on mathtube.org. This will be a general talk about the role of dilation theory in studying operators on Hilbert space, illustrated in part by some recent work of mine with Raphaël Clouâtre on multivariable operator...

The geodesics on a sphere (the prototypical positively curved surface) are the great circles, all of which are closed (that is, each great circle eventually returns to its initial point, in the same direction as it left). It is a remarkable fact that...

This will be a general talk about the role of dilation theory in studying operators on Hilbert space, illustrated in part by some recent work of mine with Raphaël Clouâtre on multivariable operator theory.

A video of this event is available on mathtube.org. Matrices contain combinatorial information. They may provide alternative representations of combinatorial ideas. Examples include permutation matrices as representations of permutations of a finite...

The extent to which climate change may affect human health by facilitating biological invasion and vector-host interaction to increase vector-borne diseases has been under considerable debate, resolution of which imposes significant challenge for...

The focus of the conference is on current topics in discrete and computational geometry, including both theoretical and applied results. CCCG has been held annually since 1989; as of 2010, CCCG will have been hosted at sixteen different Canadian...

The 2008 Western Canada Linear Algebra Meeting (WCLAM) will be held at the University of Manitoba in rooms E2 330 and E2 350 of the Engineering Building on May 30-31, 2008. This is the 8th in a series of meetings that have been held since 1993; the...

The mathematical and computing sciences are central to numerous facets of imaging science, and furnish the tools that enable progress in those domains. This workshop focuses on the mathematical issues and computational techniques that lie at the...
