The "ABC algebra workshops" is a series of PIMS-sponsored research workshops on algebra and related topics. Originally designed to bring together researchers from the Universities of Alberta and British Columbia (thus the acronym ABC), these...

The meeting begins with a dinner party at Terry Rockafellar's home Friday evening.The conference lectures will take place on Saturday, May 3, in Smith Hall room 304.Breakfast items (bagels, donuts, fruit), refreshments, and coffee will be served...

The Pacific Northwest Numerical Analysis seminar (PNWNAS), now in its 25th year, seeks to bring together researchers from universities, government research labs, and industry from the Pacific Northwest to share expertise in both pure and applied...

The peculiar quantum-mechanical properties of the ground states of Bose gases that were predicted in the early days of quantum-mechanics have been verified experimentally relatively recently. The mathematical derivation of these properties from...

A Fourier quasicrystal is a discrete subset of Euclidean space whose Fourier transform is also discrete. These sets are almost periodic, often without being periodic or even containing long arithmetic progressions. In 2020, Kurasov and Sarnak gave a...

A standard topic in a somewhat more advanced graduate course in complex analysis are elliptic functions. These are doubly-periodic meromorphic functions in the complex plane. According to Liouville's basic theorems, each elliptic function has to have...

A polytope is the convex hull of finitely many points. A polytope is simplicial if all of its faces are simplices. What partial information about a simplicial polytope P is enough to uniquely determine P (up to certain equivalences)? We will discuss...

Moshe’s Insanity is a fascinating puzzle based on the game Instant Insanity. It was created for the ACM ICPC competition in 1994. The premise of the puzzle is relatively straightforward: you are given eight cubes, and your task is to arrange these...
