The Graduate Industrial Mathematics Modelling Camp is designed to give graduate students in the Mathematical Sciences an opportunity to learn techniques of mathematical modeling under the supervision and guidance of experts in the field. On Wednesday...

The Actuarial Research Conference (ARC) is an annual event jointly sponsored by the Society of Actuaries and the host university. SFU has been chosen to host the 45th edition of the conference in 2010. It is the most important conference in North...

A course for risk managers, quantitative analysts and others who want to learn how to make use of Monte Carlo and related techniques. Learn how to: • use Monte Carlo methods for accurate option pricing, hedging and risk management. • understand what...

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...

In this talk I will present the personal journey that the study of mathematics has allowed me to travel so far. It begins with a typical academic career, focused on research in applied mathematics, and specifically the mathematics related to the...

Many problems in science and engineering are described in terms of equilibrium shapes on which certain conditions are imposed and which separate regions where the solution may have different properties. A prototypical problem of this type involves...

The purpose of this summer school is to introduce students in applied and computational mathematics to neural networks and deep learning. It will feature three days of lectures and hands-on tutorials, and be followed by a one-day workshop showcasing...

The talk will be devoted to a simple introduction to stochastic PDEs (SPDEs) driven by Wiener processes, including both forward and backward (in time) cases. Some motivations, as well as the duality relationship between forward and backward SPDEs...

Adaptive time stepping methods for meta-stable dynamics of the Allen Cahn and Cahn Hilliard equations are investigated in the spatially continuous, semi-discrete setting. Predicted behaviour of the number of time steps with specified local error...
