First Graduate Industrial Math Modelling Camp
The inaugural Graduate Industrial Mathematical Modeling Camp (GIMM) of the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences (PIMS) was held at Simon Fraswer University from May 24-29, 1988. Close to 40 graduate and soon to be graduate students from...

PIMS Vancouver Lunchbox Lecture: Dave Fracchia
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...

PIMS - SFU CS Seminar: Hongkai Zhao
We characterize the intrinsic complexity of a set S in a metric space W by the least dimension N (epsilon) of a linear space V ⊂ W that can approximate S to an epsilon error. We show a scaling law for N (epsilon) for high frequency wave fields in...

PIMS - SFU CS Seminar: Brian Wetton
I am working with colleagues on several projects modelling Lithium Ion batteries. Experimental results are fit to simple models of performance and ``State of Health”, a vaguely defined measure of the change of battery characteristics with use and age...

PIMS - SFU CS Seminar: Andrew J. Bernoff
A wide variety of physical and biological systems can be described as continuum limits of interacting particles. Many of these problems are gradient flows and their dynamics are governed by a monotonically decreasing interaction energy that is often...

UBC/SFU Joint Statistical Seminar
The idea of this event is to offer graduate students in Statistics and Actuarial Science with an opportunity to attend a seminar with accessible talks providing them an introduction to active areas of research in the field. For two students from each...

PIMS - SFU CSC Seminar: Hélène Hivert
The run-and-tumble motion of bacteria such as E. Coli can be represented by a kinetic equation considered with an hyperbolic scaling, and a Hopf-Cole transformation that makes the problem become non-linear. It has been proved that the asymptotic...

Skeletal muscle are complex living tissues that can undergo large deformations in short periods of time. Also, it is known that small volumetric changes can occur during contraction. In this presentation we introduce a dynamic nonlinear elastic...

2018 UBC/SFU Joint Statistical Seminar
The aim of this event is to offer graduate students in Statistics and Actuarial Science with an opportunity to attend a seminar with accessible talks providing them an introduction to active areas of research in the field. For three students from...

PIMS- SFU CS Colloquium: Daan Huybrechs
Functions appearing in many applications, for example as the solution of an integral or differential equation, are usually discretized and approximated in a basis. Each function in a certain space can be uniquely represented in that basis...
