Humankind's fascination with the mathematical constant pi goes well beyond practical need. In fact, even though over five trillion decimal places of pi has been calculated, a mere four decimal places are sufficient for the design of the world's...

The University of Calgary has been an international leader in developing experiments that involve imaging the aurora. At present, UofC has more than 50 instruments deployed across the Canadian Arctic. This network takes images and other measurements...

The IMA, in collaboration with Mprime and PIMS, is holding a 10-day workshop on Mathematical Modeling in Industry in Calgary, Canada. The workshop is designed to provide graduate students and qualified advanced undergraduates with first hand...

What do designing a hybrid vehicle engine, a microscopic description of the fission process, a groundwater remediation plan, a fast code on a modern supercomputer, and an experimental X-ray beam have in common?All are examples of challenging...

When computing numerical approximations to problems with smooth solutions using regular grids, the error can have additional structure. The historical example of the Euler-McLaurin formula for the approximation of integrals with the trapezoidal rule...

The 11th International Conference on Applied Cryptography and Network Security (ACNS 2013) will be held in Banff, Alberta, Canada. The conference seeks submissions from academia, industry, and government presenting novel research on all aspects of...

In the past three decades the field of Computer Graphics has experienced a revolution, benefiting from significant research and technical achievements. Creating detailed digital content is a major task in the Game, Film, and CAD industries, and...

Lecture slidesfor this event are available on mathtube.org In this seminar we will discuss a new model for strategic investment model for a merchant energy storage facility. The facility's actions impact market-clearing outcomes, and thus it 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...
