This committee is to serve the community in this responsible for (i) coordinating the contributions of role . I have learned a great deal about the quality and the mathematical community to the reconciliation diversity of our Canadian mathematical community, process, and (ii) devising a strategy to eliminate and my time as President has been rewarding educational and employment gaps in mathematics personally . Indeed, it has been a great pleasure to between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Canadians . work with a group of highly motivated, hardworking Recognizing that diversity takes many forms, we individuals, both in the CMS administrative office also have a new Committee on Equity, Diversity and and outside of it, as we have moved forward on Inclusiveness . I am happy to say that we had our first shared goals .

  • Joel Feldman
    Essay‐Contest 2017/18 Lukas Lanik, International School Kufstein, 9. Schulstufe, Fremdsprachenerwerb: 5 Jahre Joel Feldman Physics, mathematics and computer science belong to my favourite subjects in school and are definitely sciences that I would like to study at university. That is why I think the work and research that Joel Feldman does is really interesting. He is a mathematician and a mathematical physicist. He did his bachelor’s degree in 1970 at the University of Toronto and his masters and PhD at Harvard University in 1971 and 1974. He has made important contributions to quantum field theory, many‐body theory, Schrödinger operator theory, the theory of infinite genus Riemann surfaces and on Fermi liquids. His research on Fermi liquids and infinite genus Riemann surfaces was done in collaboration with Horst Knörrer and Eugene Trubowitz. Over the years professor Feldman won many prizes because of his outstanding contributions in Mathematics and Theoretical Physics and is a part of the Royal Society of Canada. In 1996 he won the John L. Synge Award, in 2004 he won the Jeffery‐ Williams Prize and in 2007 he won the CRM‐Fields‐PIMS Prize together with CAP‐CRM in Theoretical and Mathematical Physics. But why are contributions to research in physics so important? How do they help to push humanity forward? Physics helps us understand the nature of the universe. It helps us understand why certain things work the way they work. Take, for example, the European robin. At first glance, it seems like an ordinary bird. But once we start asking how is it possible that during winter the bird is able to find its way to southern Europe and back, things start to get weird, because the answer to this question lies in the mysterious realm of quantum mechanics.

  • Looking Towards the Future
    VVolumeolume 1100 IIssuessue 2 WWinterinter 22007007 Looking Towards the Future his is a 10th anniversary issue and the question naturally arises: what is PIMS going to look like in T10 years? Now generally, what is the scientifi c world going to look like in 2017? It seems to us that, by that time, problems arising from the global effects of human activity will feature much more prominently in the scientifi c agenda than they do now. Understanding and mitigat- ing global warming, preserving biodiversity and natural resources, preventing new infectious diseases from arising and spreading, creating the conditions of fair economic development and just societies around the world, all these challenges will have to be dealt with, and all of them have some component of mathematical modeling. This is where PIMS wants to go. Three of the CRGs we will open in 2007 are oriented towards the environment. But no institute, in fact no country by itself can make a signifi cant contribution to solving such problems. This is really a problem for global scientifi c networks, stretching across oceans and boundaries. PIMS by itself is a regional network, and we are now associating with others to create international networks. In 10 years, we hope that the PRIMA network, which is barely one year old, will have become a global enterprise for training and research in emerging areas of mathematics. We also hope that PIMS will have become an active part of the CNRS network and through the CNRS a member of the European research community. In this way PIMS will stand as a gateway, a crossroads between the Pacifi c Rim, the Americas and Europe, bringing different mathematical traditions to study global problems.

The Public Lecture, entitled 'Getting at the truth', was given by Ed Barbeau on June 14 at 7:00 PM and was very well attended. The plenary talks were delivered by: Peter Cameron (Queen Mary University) Craig Fraser (University of Toronto) Mark Lewis (University of Alberta) Alan C. Newell (University of Arizona/University of Warwick) Peter Olver (University of Minnesota) Frank T. Smith (University College London) Mikhail Zaicev (Moscow State University) The Canadian Mathematical Society was pleased to present lectures from their research prize winners, specifically the CMS Jeffery-Williams Lecture, given by Joel Feldman (University of British Columbia), and Leo Jonker (Queen's University), who received the first CMS Excellence in Teaching Award. The CAIMS Research Prize Lecture was given by Robert D. Russell (SimonFraser University) and the CAIMS Cecil Graham Doctoral Dissertation Award Lecture was given by Ramadan Akila (University of Guelph). A wide variety of fields of interest were represented in the symposia topics detailed below. Most of these are fields that are well represented by researchers in Atlantic Canada: 16th Canadian Symposium on Fluid Dynamics (Org: Richard Karsten, Acadia University and Serpil Kocabiyik, Memorial University) Applications of Invariant Theory to Differential Geometry (Org: Robert Milson, Dalhousie University and Mark Fels, Utah State University) Classical Analysis in honour of David Borwein's 80th Birthday (Org: Jonathan Borwein, Dalhousie University, and Mike Overton, New York University) Dynamical Systems (Org: Michael A.

  • Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences
    Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences Annual Report 2006 | 07 The Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences MISSION STATEMENT The Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences (PIMS) was founded and is maintained by the five main universities in Western Canada (Simon Fraser University, University of Alberta, University of British Colum- bia, University of Calgary, and University of Victoria). In 2005 the University of Washington joined this group of Canadian universities, thereby extending PIMS influence into the United States. PIMS objectives are: • Promoting research in mathematics; • Strengthening ties and collaboration between mathematical scientists in the academic community, in the industrial and business sector, and in government; • Enhancing education and training in mathematical sciences, and broadening communication of mathemati- cal ideas; and • Creating strong mathematical partnerships and links within Canada and with organizations in other coun- tries, focusing on Pacific Rim nations. PIMS has a close partnership with the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (MSRI), and the Mathematics of Information Technology and Complex Systems (MITACS). The Universities of Lethbridge, Northern British Columbia, and Regina are affiliates. In its nine years of existence, PIMS has developed numerous ways in which to fulfill the objectives set by its founding universities. These include Collaborative Research Groups, various Scientific, Education, and Indus- trial activities, the Banff International Research Station (BIRS),
