On April 17 and 18, students, faculty, and members of the community gathered to take part in the inaugural Research Discovery Days, a research showcase and networking event hosted by the Math Innovation Office. The event, which featured both faculty and graduate student research presentations as well as discussions about entrepreneurship, aimed to connect industry partners with researchers doing exciting work in the Faculty of Mathematics.

It is with heavy hearts that we bid farewell to a true visionary and leader, Ronald (Ron) Garth Dunkley, long time faculty member in the Faculty of Mathematics at the University of ��ݮ��Ƶ, the founding director of the (CEMC), and the co-creator of the Canadian Mathematics Competition.

Thanks to our three Giving Tuesday Challenge Champions, you can support Mathematics students today by making a donation of any amount and becoming one of the 20 donors needed to unlock the challenge champions’ gifts.

On November 16, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced $15 million in funding for the University of ��ݮ��Ƶ’s Faculties of Mathematics and Environment to work with Indonesian partners on climate-change adaptation and mitigation strategies in the country.

Mackenzie Cameron and Sierra Legare have been named this year’s winners of the Mehta-Jenner Climate Mitigation Graduate Scholarship.

The Mehta-Jenner Climate Mitigation Graduate Scholarship recognizes outstanding research focused on climate change or climate change mitigation by graduate students in the Faculty of Mathematics.

The scholarship was established by Adarsh Mehta (BMath’ 98) and Jeffrey Jenner (BMath’ 84) to support and celebrate graduate students who share their passion for environmental and ecological issues, as they are explored through mathematical fields.

When Hurricane Dorian battered the Bahamas in the Fall of 2019, ��ݮ��Ƶ-based satellite imagery startup SkyWatch was quick to assist the reeling nation.

The company gave relief agencies emergency access to its vast satellite image datasets. This enabled these organizations to survey the damage in real-time and coordinate their response accordingly.

Climate change is making wild weather increasingly common—and raising the stakes for weather forecasters.

The University of ��ݮ��Ƶ ranked 25th in computer science and 41st in mathematics in a recently released global ranking of universities.

Researchers from the Department of Applied Mathematics are part of a team using artificial intelligence to analyze sentiment and interaction about contentious topics in social media.

A few years ago, one of Trisha Kothari’s sisters asked their aging grandmother a thought-provoking question: “If you were reborn into our generation, what would you do with your life?”

Their grandmother, Barji, who had grown up in India at a time when women had few rights and even fewer opportunities, wasted no time answering.

“Oh, I’d definitely not get married. I would study and start a business,” she told her.
