Consider three gamblers with initial capital A,B,C. Each time, a pair of them is chosen at random, a fair coin is flipped and $1 is transferred. Classically, the chance that the first gambler wins all the money is A/ (A + B + C). Consider the first...

In his 1965 seminal paper on edge colouring, Vizing proved that a (Delta+1)-edge colouring can be reached from any given proper edge colouring through a series of Kempe changes, where Delta is the maximum degree of the graph. He concludes the paper...

The University of Saskatchewan Centre for Hydrology is offering an intensive course on the fundamentals of process-based hydrological modelling, including model development, model application, and model evaluation. The course will explain the model...

Cells often chemotax, directing their motion in response to a chemical signal. We develop models of strategies for chemotaxis in complex environments. Groups of cells may cooperate to sense a chemical signal. One strategy is to specialize into leader...

Recent advances in condensed matter physics have ushered in a new era of cross-fertilization between mathematics and physics. The study of topological materials, a radically new class of quantum materials discovered in the mid-2000s and the subject...

Time: 3:00pm PDT Location: Online Math provides us with mental tools of incredible power. When we learn math we learn to see patterns, to think logically and systematically, to draw analogies, to perceive risk, to understand cause and effect--among...

The Schramm-Loewner evolution (SLE) is a random fractal curve in the plane that describes the scaling limit of interfaces in several statistical physics models. It is uniquely characterized by two properties known as conformal invariance and the...

It has been well established that the mechanical stiffness of the substrate with which cells interact affects various intracellular processes, including cell spread areas, speeds at which motile cells translocate, and the number and strength of cell...

Due to uncertainties resulting from COVID-19, this event will now be hosted online. More details will be posted here as they becomes available. Hosted for a Third year by PIMS, Diversity in Mathematics is part of a multi-year, multi-level program...

Onine Undergraduate Summer School Eligibility Requirements: The online summer school is open to female-identifying, non- binary and two- spirit undergraduate students studying mathematics or a related discipline such as computer science, physics and...
