Spotlight on the latest Maths & Oceans article from Paul Vigneaux, on residence at PIMS from France.
The PIMS mandate is to promote excellent research and applications of the mathematical sciences, to facilitate the training of highly qualified personnel, to create an equitable, diverse and inclusive community in the mathematical sciences, to enrich public awareness of and education in mathematics and to create partnerships with similar organizations around the world.
The goal of this meeting is to connect mathematicians, physicists and computer scientists interested in common topics. We hope to share open questions with the potential for concrete interdisciplinary collaborations. It will centre around five major...
The Zakharov system is a coupled system of the Schrodinger equation and the acoustic wave equation to describe the Langmuir turbulence in plasma. The goal in this talk is to classify the solutions depending on the initial data, in particular to...
2026 PIMS Directorate Open House Join us for the PIMS Directorate Open House to learn more about how PIMS supports mathematical sciences research, collaboration, training, and education across our network. Following a short presentation, there will...
Abstract: What is mathematical research? How does a mathematician find problems to work on? How does one build mathematical collaborations? In this talk, I will share my journey to research mathematics, what it entails, how I have developed new...
Ocean waves forced by wind grow and eventually break, playing an important role in the coupling between the atmosphere and the ocean. Wave breaking modulates momentum and energy fluxes, controlling upper ocean currents affecting gas transfer and...
Abstract: In Logistic regression under the case–control framework, the logarithmic ratio of the covariate densities between the case and control groups is a linear function of the regression parameters. Based on this fact, this talk introduces an...
Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences (PIMS) invites applications to its Research Catalyst program, a targeted funding opportunity designed to support the formation and maintenance of...
The Banff International Research Station (BIRS), the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences (PIMS), and the Simons Laufer Mathematical Sciences Institute (SLMath) invite proposals to organize...
