Past Events

Public health program managers and policy makers are regularly faced with complex decisions that affect the health and well-being of the public. Mathematical models and operations research tools can be used to consider diverse interacting factors...

The profit obtained from operating energy infrastructure depends on fluctuating market prices. Oil production is a topical example. When oil prices are low enough, it makes sense to shut in the wells. Shutting in a well avoids producing petroleum to...

The Mathematical Modeling in Industry Workshop for Graduate Students is designed to provide graduate students and qualified advanced undergraduates with first-hand experience in industrial research. Students work in teams under the guidance of an...

From points of view ranging from science to public policy, there is a growing interest in modeling and simulation of geosystems and their applications. Some examples include petroleum exploration and recovery, underground waste disposal and cleanup...

The aim of the PIMS Industrial Problem Solving Workshop is to create a mutually beneficial link between researchers in industry and academic mathematicians/statisticians. Research workers with industrial and commercial concerns are invited to present...

PIMS, CRM and Fields are hosting an innovation panel discussion and industry networking event on the evening of June 9 at the AMMCS-CAIMS Congress in Waterloo. Panelists will include researchers who have started up their own companies, and...

The past two decades have witnessed an enormous expansion of hydraulic fracturing (HF) in the subsurface; in particular, as it pertains to the stimulation of gas-rich shales formations. To date, however, concerns persist as to whether hydraulic...

The “language" of mathematics has been developed since the dawn of humanity to describe and comprehend the surrounding world and its phenomena. Mathematics as a science and a school subject is widely identified with the mechanical rules of algebra or...

A video of this event is available on mathtube.org. Wavelets have been successfully applied to many areas. For high-dimensional problems such as image/video processing, separable wavelets are widely used but are known to have some shortcomings such...
