The relationship between mapping class groups of surfaces and low-dimensional topology has long been a fruitful one. From Thurston's characterization of geometric structures on mapping tori in terms of the Nielsen-Thurston type of the mapping class...

A video of this event is available on mathtube.org. Given a matrix-valued function F that depend nonlinearly on a single parameter z, the basic nonlinear eigenvalue problem consists of finding complex scalars z for which F(z) is singular. Such...

A video of this event is available on mathtube.org. Statistical science has a 200-year history of advances in theory and application. Data science is a relatively newly defined area of enquiry deriving from big data. The interplay between them, and...

A video of this event is available on https://www.mathtube.org The emergence of massive data sets, over the past twenty or so years, has led to the development of Randomized Numerical Linear Algebra. Fast and accurate randomized matrix algorithms are...

n this talk, I will present two recent results in the area of combinatorial reconfiguration, in the process providing both a primer for those unfamiliar with the reconfiguration framework and insights into new directions for those already familiar...

A video of this event is available on mathtube.org Anaerobic digestion is a complex, naturally occurring process during which organic matter is broken down into biogas and various byproducts in an oxygen-free environment. It is used for...

A video of this event is available on mathtube.org. A symmetric key cryptosystem is one in which the same secret key is used for both encryption and decryption. An encryption function in a block symmetric key cryptosystem is a function of both the...

Annual Meeting of the Statistical Society of Canada, statistical conference with four workshops sponsored by the Biostatistics, Survey Methods, Statistical Education and Business and Industrial Statistics sections of the SSC.

The Canadian Conference on Computational Geometry is a forum to disseminate and discuss theoretical and applied results in discrete and computational geometry.

In a reconfiguration problem, the goal is to change an initial configuration of some structure to a final configuration using some limited set of moves. Examples include: sorting a list by swapping pairs of adjacent elements; finding the edit...
