For graphs $G, H_1,\dots,H_r$, write $G \to (H_1, \ldots, H_r)$ to denote the property that whenever we $r$-colour the edges of $G$, there is a monochromatic copy of $H_i$ in colour $i$ for some $i \in \{1,\dots,r\}$. Mousset, Nenadov and Samotij...

For a simple graph $G$ on $n$ vertices, let $\mathcal{S}(G)$ be the set of all $n\times n$ real symmetric matrices $A=[a_{i,j}]$ with $a_{i,j}\neq 0$ if and only if $\{i,j\}$ is an edge of $G$. There are no restrictions on the diagonal entries of $A$...

In 1954, Tutte made a conjecture that every graph without a cut-edge has a nowhere-zero 5-flow. A parallel conjecture to this, but for signed graphs is Bouchet’s Conjecture (1983) that every signed graph without the obvious obstruction has a nowhere...

In the eternal eviction game, a set of guards placed on the vertices of (a dominating set of) a graph G must move to defend the graph against attacks on those of its vertices that contain guards, while maintaining a dominating set of G. The eternal...

Students from Elementary, Middle and Secondary schools will participate. Judges include current and retired UVic Faculty and graduate students. PIMS has long been a sponsor of FAME. About eighty students (Gr. 3-12) will exhibit.

This Alternative Math Education event will present fun methods of teaching math and computer science concepts to children (and adults!) using games and art. Lots of hands-on activities! Including:A Sorting Network An Impossible Balancing Act Bubbles...

On Monday, May 2, 2016, a team from PIMS(UVic, UBC and U. of Manitoba) will present Math Mania at Captain Meares Elementary Secondary School in Tahsis, a remote community on Vancouver Island. This will be the second visit for Math Mania. The first...

On Tuesday, May 3, 2016, a team from PIMS (UVic, UBC and UManitoba) will present Math Mania at Cedar Elementary School in Campbell River. They will be assisted by students from Carihi Secondary school in Campbell River.

Math Mania is a math education event which presents a variety of interactive demonstrations allowing students to learn math concepts in a fun and engaging way.
