Join us for an engaging presentation on "Unraveling the Mathematics of Single-Cell Dynamics" with Dr. Anotida Madzvamuse. This event is part of the UBC Applied Science Black Excellence in STEM (BEST) Speaker Series, in collaboration with the...

The Deligne-Mumford compactification, M 0 , n ⎯ ⎯ ⎯ ⎯ ⎯ ⎯ ⎯ ⎯ ⎯ ⎯ ⎯ , of the moduli space of n distinct ordered points on ℙ 1 , has many well understood geometric and topological properties. For example, it is a smooth projective variety over its...

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...

In 1770 Euler observed that 3 3 + 4 3 + 5 3 = 6 3 and asked if there was another perfect power that equals the sum of consecutive cubes. This captivated the attention of many important mathematicians, such as Cunningham, Catalan, Genocchi and Lucas...

Depth and width parameters of graphs, e.g., tree-width, path-width and tree-depth, play a crucial role in algorithmic and structural graph theory. These notions are of fundamental importance in the theory of graph minors, fixed parameter complexity...

The PIMS Math to Power Industry program is pleased to announce the Case Studies Virtual seminar. The primary goal of this project is to bring together graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and faculty members in the PIMS network who are engaged in...

Comparative genomics offers valuable insights into evolutionary biology, uncovering patterns such as whole-genome duplications, gene retention, and gene loss. Polyploidization, a widespread evolutionary process, plays a pivotal role in shaping the...
