Solvers for the Boolean satisfiability problem have been increasingly used to solve hard problems from many fields and now routinely solve problems with millions of variables. Combinatorial problems are a natural target, as SAT solvers contain...

On May 27, 2019, the Electronic Journal of Combinatorics, a diamond-access journal founded by the late Herb Wilf and Neil Calkin, will celebrate its 25th birthday by organizing a satellite conference in conjunction with CanaDAM 2019. There will be...

A widespread approach for tsunami simulation is to model the ocean with the shallow water equations (SWE). The steady-state ocean floor deformation that results from a seismic event is often used as the initial ocean surface profile for the SWE...

Computers can be programmed to do a variety of tasks which, if a human had done them, we might identify as creative tasks. But does that mean that they themselves are creative? We examine the state of the art in computer-generated poetry, and examine...

In this talk I will present the personal journey that the study of mathematics has allowed me to travel so far. It begins with a typical academic career, focused on research in applied mathematics, and specifically the mathematics related to the...

Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) is an increasingly popular subject in computational science and engineering, that deals with assessing the impact on the PDE solution of the uncertainty on the coefficients of the same PDE. Coefficients here is a term...

In both normal tissue and disease states, cells interact with one another, and other tissue components using cellular adhesion proteins. These interactions are fundamental in determining tissue fates, and the outcomes of normal development, and...

To understand the fluid dynamics of marine phenomena fluid-structure interaction problems must be solved. Challenges exist in developing analytical and numerical techniques to solve these complex flow problems with boundary conditions at fluid...

BC UMSC will take place during the last week of April 2019 at Simon Fraser University (Burnaby Campus). This inaugural event will provide Mathematics and Statistics Undergraduates with an opportunity to showcase their research, expand their learning...

Efficient and accurate simulation of electromagnetic responses of geologically-rich geophysical settings is crucial in a variety of scenarios, including mineral and petroleum exploration, water resource utilizations, and geothermal power extractions...
