Canadian Mathematics Institutions have been invited to send some Canadian graduate students to attend an Industrial Problem Solving Workshop in Paris, this September. PARIS WORKSHOP ANNOUNCEMENT: A group of French mathematicians is organizing a...

The two-week workshop will include both theoretical and practical components, featuring lectures on the theory of algorithms used in data science and the freeware implementation of these methods. In the first week, data sets from industry and...

The Graduate Math Modelling in Industry Workshop is designed to provided graduate students in the mathematical sciences, and qualified advanced undergraduates, with training and first-hand experience in industrial research. This one week event in...

Geophysical imaging and inversion allows us to see what is underneath the earth surfaces, using data collected from seismic, electrical, magnetic and gravitational measurements on the surface of the earth. Such imaging has wide applications, from...

PIMS is sponsoring the 2017 ProtoChallenge on the April 1 weekend at the University of Calgary, hosted by Women in Science and Engineering (WISE) at Calgary. ProtoChallenge is a 24 hour event where groups of students pitch ideas to help the community...

Mathematics is integral to every aspect of game development including character and level creation, movement, player input, NPC behaviour, physics simulations, and real-time rendering. Fortunately for game designers, most of this computation is...

Chronic disease management often involves sequential decisions that have long-term implications. Those decisions are based on high dimensional information, which pose a problem for traditional modeling paradigms. In some key instances, the disease...

A video of this event is available on The Pennsylvania Department of Correction operates 29 correctional facilities (prisons) and about 50,000 prisoners (inmates) each year. The assignments of inmates to appropriate correctional facilities is a...

I'll give an introduction to modelling contagion processes on networks. I will discuss both biological and social contagions, and I will focus especially on the latter. I will consider what subjects like dynamical systems, statistical physics, and...
