Plenary Talk Abstracts De-clawing graph theory (Stephanie van Willigenburg) This talk requires no prior knowledge and will be a gentle introduction to colouring graphs, suitable for a broad audience including students. We will start with some...

What is the SRP? The UBC Mathematics Summer Reading Program (SRP) connects small groups of first-year and second-year undergraduates with a graduate student or postdoctoral mentor for to learn some advanced mathematics beyond the undergraduate...

The mathematics of origami, or paper folding, raises rich questions in combinatorics and computational geometry, particularly related to flat-foldability: given a crease pattern, represented as a planar graph, and an assignment of mountains and...

Concern for the impact of climate change on the spread and severity of infectious disease is widespread. For long-term management of global health, we need to consider parasite evolution under such environmentalchange. Vector-borne diseases are...

Talks & Discussions We invite each postdoctoral fellow to present a 25-minute talk on their research, an influential project, or an open problem they hope to tackle in the future. Unlike traditional seminar or conference talks, this session is...

WAGS aims to build a regional community among algebraic geometers of all career stages, from advanced undergraduates to full professors. The meetings are centered around research talks delivered by leading mathematicians from around the world...

The Simplex method for solving linear programs (LPs) is one of the most widely used LP solvers due to the fact that it runs very quickly in practice. However, despite its practical efficiency and decades of study, it remains unknown whether or not it...
