PIMS Network Wide Colloquium: Terence Tao

We’re honoured to welcome Dr. Terence Tao, Professor of Mathematics at UCLA on September 10 for an online talk as part of the PIMS Network Wide Colloquium series. Talk title "Machine assisted Proofs"

The PIMS mandate is to promote excellent research and applications of the mathematical sciences, to facilitate the training of highly qualified personnel, to create an equitable, diverse and inclusive community in the mathematical sciences, to enrich public awareness of and education in mathematics and to create partnerships with similar organizations around the world.

Upcoming Events

Directorate Open-house We invite you to meet with our PIMS Directors and review current and future PIMS scientific and educational funding opportunities. Time 12:00 PM Pacific/ 1:00 PM Mountain/ 3:00 PM Eastern.

For centuries, mathematicians have relied on computers to perform calculations, to suggest conjectures, and as components of mathematical proofs. In the light of more modern tools such as interactive theorem provers, machine learning algorithms, and...

We put forward two principles of decoupling, aiming to provide a new algebraic approach of reducing decoupling for new manifolds to decoupling for known manifolds. This is joint with Jianhui Li.

Many quantum search algorithms are equivalent to coined quantum walks that start from a uniform superposition of arcs and get very close to a state that "concentrates on" some marked vertex. In this talk, we consider a related problem: if we start...

Hysteresis, a phenomenon in which the response of a system lags behind and depends on its past history, has been used to understand various psychosocial phenomena, including abrupt shifts in opinion dynamics, political polarization, and more. The aim...
