Michael Tsatsomeros will discuss a bounded region E(A) in the complex plane that contains the eigenvalues of a complex matrix A. E(A) is the intersection of an infinite number of regions defined by elliptic curves that were borne in Victoria many...

This annual meeting continues to build on the traditions of the past Canadian Genetic Epidemiology and Statistical meetings, and the Canadian Human Genetics Conferences. This joint approach will bring together the Canadian genetics community to...

Hugh C. Morris Lecture: Cedric Villani

This conference aims to bring together applied topologists and spatial statisticians that are curious about each-other's work. We anticipate having two relatively-distinct groups: 1) topologists that have been working with applied algebraic...

Orthogonal arrays have numerous applications in various disciplines including statistics, engineering and cryptography. We will revisit the celebrated Bose-Bush bound on orthogonal arrays and examine how an elementary approach, based on a certain...

Mechanism design is the problem of computing an optimal allocation of resources under criteria such as social welfare or revenue. The problem is more challenging than algorithm design because the inputs have to be elicited from selfish agents who may...

Rarefied Gas Dynamics (RGD) is a multidisciplinary field encompassing atomic and molecular physics, mathematics and computer simulation techniques. Its foundations trace back to the fathers of statistical mechanics, Ludwig Boltzmann and James Clerk...
