The reconfiguration of one discrete structure into another one, through a sequence small local modifications, is a wide research area. Famous topics of study range from games like the Rubik's cube or the 15-puzzle via robot motion planning to...

Abstract TBA

Let C be a class of algebraic structures. For example, C could be a class of quadratic forms, field extensions or algebraic curves of a given genus. To measure the complexity of C, mathematicians ask a natural question: how many algebraically...

Students of grades 5 to 7 are invited to challenge and develop their thinking and creativity skills at the Math Circle Workshops. This is an enrichment program for students organized by the faculty members of the Department of Mathematics at the...

Latent Dirichlet Allocation and Text embeddings have revolutionized the use of text as data leading to vastly improved document clustering and retrieval and recommender systems by finding lower dimensional structure in the text. Furthermore, these...

PLEASE NOTE: The room number for this session is not yet known, but it will take place at UBC's Point Grey campus. The location in the sidebar will be updated as soon as it is known. Students of grades 5 to 7 are invited to challenge and develop...

ELMACON is an annual math contest for students in grades 5, 6, and 7. Students tackle hard mathematical questions in an competitive environment to determine who will take home trophies and prizes. The contest is designed to be challenging but fun. It...

Geometric analysis is a broad area. It uses and develops tools from analysis, such as partial differential equations, calculus of variations and geometric measure theory, to solve problems in geometry and topology. A pivotal achievement is the...
