This workshop is hosted by Simon Fraser University. It is supported by the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences and the NSERC-EU project FoQaCiA. The goal of this meeting is to connect mathematicians, physicists and computer scientists...

The annual Changing the Culture Conference, organized and sponsored by the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences, brings together mathematicians, mathematics educators and school teachers from all levels to work together towards narrowing...

Come celebrate the contributions of women in mathematics, learn some cool mathematics, and connect with other members of the Math department! SFU’s Department of Mathematics EDI Advisory Group kindly invites you to join in festivities on May 12th...

Science Rendezvous is a FREE festival that takes science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM) research and innovation out of the lab and onto the street. Departments and units from the Faculty of Science at UBC will be participating at...

Led by our Education Coordinator, Jane Butterfield, and a team of enthusiastic volunteers, we'll be offering visitors a fun and interactive glimpse into the Math Mania program we normally bring to local elementary schools. Join us and experience the...

The Pacific Northwest Geometry Seminar is sponsored by the following participating institutions: Lewis and Clark College, Oregon State University, Pacific University, Portland State University, Seattle University, University of British Columbia...

In this talk we discuss two backward uniqueness theorems for extrinsic geometric flow of possibly non-compact hypersurfaces in general ambient complete Riemannian manifolds. These are applicable to a wide range of extrinsic geometric flow, including...

Let 𝔽_q be a finite field, and let ℙ²(𝔽_q) denote the projective plane over 𝔽_q. A subset B ⊆ ℙ²(𝔽_q) is called a blocking set if it intersects every line defined over 𝔽_q. Given an algebraic plane curve C in ℙ², under what...
