Message-ID:
Former Chair of the PIMS Board: Hugh Morris (1932-2012)
Excerpt from the Vancouver Sun obituary:
"Hugh Clough Morris was admired and respected by all who knew him.
He was a life-long friend of the sciences in Canada. In addition to his
memberships in the Geological Association of Canada (GAC), and numerous
other scientific societies, he served for seventeen years as a member of
the Canadian Geological Foundation, a charitable foundation promoting
earth science-related activities. For his extraordinary service to the
GAC, Hugh was honored with the Ambrose J. Willis Medal in 1993. He became
a 'Distinguished Fellow' of the GAC in 1995, and a member of the Royal
Society of Canada in 1997. Hugh's contributions to the sciences
encompassed service on several committees for the National Research
Council of Canada and the National Research Council of the United States.
He chaired both 'Lithoprobe', a major seismic research project on the
earth's crust, and the Canada Global Change Program, a joint initiative of
the Royal Society of Canada and Environment Canada devoted to the study
and mitigation of climate change. In addition, he was Chairman of the
Board of the Pacific Institute of Mathematical Sciences (PIMS), and Chair
of the Board of the Mathematics of Information Technology and Complex
Systems (MITACS), a Canadian Networks of Centres of Excellence.?
--
In 2011, he generously endowed a yearly lecture series at PIMS, the Hugh
C. Morris Lecture Series, which attracts the world?s top mathematical
scientists to deliver presentations on current research topics to PIMS
sites in Western Canada and Washington State.
Dr. Morris served on the PIMS Board for over ten years. We are enormously
grateful to Hugh for his generosity and vision in support of the
mathematical sciences. His contributions to PIMS and science in Canada
are truly outstanding. In addition he is a wonderful person who has
provided valuable advice to PIMS Directors over the years. It has been a
real privilege to count on his friendship and counsel.

Subject: [cmath] NSERC Survey concerning the CCA report (and re-allocation
exercises)
Message-ID: <50F25DF2.4060604@math.mcmaster.ca>
Dear members of the Canadian mathematics commnuity,
I am writing to encourage you to fill out the NSERC survey that was
distributed on December 13, with a reminder from NSERC on January 10. It
is available on the website
http://www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca/NSERC-CRSNG/Reports-Rapports/Assessment-Assessment_eng.asp
for which you should enter the code: 7243623
It will be avaliable until January 25, so we have to be somewhat prompt.
This survey is the form in which NSERC is consulting its constituency
over decision-making criteria for an upcoming budget re-allocation
process between the different scientific disciplines. This process is
going to (again) make decisions as to the distribution of the total
budget envelopes of the different Evaluation Groups (EGs). In this it is
extremely important to us, especially as our funding has historically
been so far behind. Here is the website of the NSERC background material
for their envisioned reallocation process:
https://ensemble.nserc-crsng.gc.ca/surveys/SC00002/L001/Backgrounder6-e.pdf
Criteria for making such choices is the topic of a recent Council of
Canadian Academies (CCA) report, available here:
http://www.scienceadvice.ca/en/assessments/completed/science-performance.aspx
A brief outline of this report is that dry `indicators' or `metrics'
such as blind publication counts or citation indices, averaged or not,
are in general not good indicators of research quality, activity,
capacity or trends, and certainly not for individual researchers, or in
comparisons between groups of researchers in different scientific areas.
Indeed they conclude that consultation with expert panels, and in the
context of the individual disciplines, is the best way to make informed
decisions. But these type of indicators would possibly be of use as
reference material in expert panel deliberations which compared more
broadly a discipline (such as math) with the same discipline in other
countries.
The NSERC survey is in a way asking us whether we agree with the CCA
report. It is a long and confusing questionnaire, which spends a lot of
time asking whether various dry indicators are valid for making
decisions on various detailed things, such as (1) Research Trends, (2)
Research Quality and (3) Research Capacity. Little is mentioned of the
CCA recommendation that expert panels are most important. I would be
very happy if you could dedicate a small bit of time to filling our this
questionnaire, at least on behalf of the mathematics community. Because
it is so confusing, and there are literally hundreds of pages of
background material to read for a complete story, I am including a
summary of my own answers below, hoping that they will clarify the
process of your response.
Best regards, Walter
Walter Craig
Chair: Mathematics - NSERC Liaison Committee
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
NSERC Survey on Reallocation Decisions, and CCA Report on Informing
Research Choices: [Outline of W. Craig's responses]
Questions Q1 - Q5 are just standard, where one works and one's seniority
Questions Q6 - Q12 and all of their sub-parts consist essentially of a
tedious passage through the tables given in Background, Appendix A. The
questions are like `Do you agree or disagree with indicator X being used
for the factor Y' (where Y = (1) Research Trends, (2) Research Quality
and (3) Research Capacity as given above).
My own survey answers here included the statements `only if they are in
the context of a deeper Expert Panel review, and taken internationally
and within the context of the discipline'.
Q13: Is the present DG allocation scheme overly driven by historical
awards? A: YES, we have been historically underfunded for decades!
Q14: A long list of questions on the addequacy of DG budget allocations,
which I responded as essentially all being inadequate (ie my answers are
either 2 or 1 = strongly disagree).
Q14(c) is particularly important. `Is the overall funding available to
our EG 1508 fair, in relation to the other EGs. My answer is 1 =
strongly disagree.
Questions 15 through to the end are regarding hypothetical scenerios in
which more funds enter into the DG program. Here is an outline of my
answers:
Q15: [NO]
Q16(a): [7 = strongly agree]
(b): [7 = strongly agree]
Q18 is important again - by which qualities should we assess allocation
of any (hypothetical) DG funding increases. My answer to Q18(b) is `to
rectify historical discrepancies in discipline funding that have
persisted over time'.
Q19: Should there be periodic reallocation. A: YES
Q20: on zero-sum reallocation. Q20(b) `Funds should be redistributed
with historical data in mind, to make up the historical underfunding of
mathematics & statistics'.
Q21: What are acceptable yearly fluctuation bounds in EG budgets? My
answer = `There should be a built-in method of averaging, so that in a
given year, and in a given discipline, the grant awards are not held
unfairly hostage (forced into crisis) by a downward fluctuation in
returning grant amounts.'
Q22: The CCA report strongly advocates that expert
judgments/deliberative methods be of dominant importance in budget
allocations/reallocations, with supporting data given by multiple
quantitative indicators, such as Average Relative Citations, or Weighted
Publication Counts. These latter should always be used within the
context of the specific discipline, as inter-discipline comparisons are
not meaningful.
Q23 and Q24: At what frequency should there be a reallocation exercise,
adnd what portion of an EG budget should come into play. I responded:
`Each 5 years until an approximate steady-state is reached'. And 15% of
the budget should be allowed to fluctuate (this proportion allows 50%
change over 3 reallocation exercises, which actually is close to what
mathematics & statistics needs).
That is all, good luck.
PS By the way, you can apparently take the survey as many times as you
want, it is just a website and doesn't seem to count. I am not
encouraging you to submit duplicates, but if you want to abandon a
scratch copy that you have partially started, you seem to be perfectly
able to start again.

Announcement of a PIMS Public Lecture:
"Cryptography: Secrets and Lies, Knowledge and Trust"
Speaker: Avi Wigderson (Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton)
Date: Thursday, 7 March, 2013
Time: 3:00 pm
Location: ESB 2012, UBC
Reception in PIMS Lounge, ESB 4133 at 2:30 pm
Summary:
What protects your computer password when you log on, or your credit card number when you shop on-line, from hackers listening on the communication lines? Can two people who never met create a secret language in the presence of others, which no one but them can understand? Is it possible for a group of people to play a (card-less) game of Poker on the telephone, without anyone being able to cheat? Can you convince others that you can solve a tough math (or SudoKu) puzzle, without giving them the slightest hint of your solution? These questions (and their remarkable answers) are in the realm of modern cryptography. In this talk I plan to survey some of the mathematical and computational ideas, definitions and assumptions which underlie privacy and security of the Internet and electronic commerce. We shall see how these lead to solutions of the questions above and many others. I will also explain the fragility of the current foundations of modern cryptography, and the need for stronger ones. No special background will be assumed.
Bio:
DR. AVI WIGDERSON is a widely recognized authority in theoretical computer science. His main research area is computational complexity theory. This field studies the power and limits of efficient computation and is motivated by such fundamental scientific problems as: Does P=NP? Can every efficient process be efficiently reversed? Can randomness enhance efficient computation? Can quantum mechanics enhance efficient computation? He has received, among other awards, both the Nevanlinna Prize and the G?del Prize.

Message-ID: <5E1D708ED96964418652DB118E32237A39AEF4C1F0@MBX2>
PIMS Public Lecture:
"Cryptography: Secrets and Lies, Knowledge and Trust"
Speaker: Avi Wigderson (Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton)
Date: Thursday, 7 March, 2013
Time: 3:00 pm
Location: Earth Sciences Building (ESB) Room 2012, 2207 Main Mall, Vancouver BC
Reception in PIMS Lounge, ESB 4133 at 2:30 pm
Summary:
What protects your computer password when you log on, or your credit card number when you shop on-line, from hackers listening on the communication lines? Can two people who never met create a secret language in the presence of others, which no one but them can understand? Is it possible for a group of people to play a (card-less) game of Poker on the telephone, without anyone being able to cheat? Can you convince others that you can solve a tough math (or SudoKu) puzzle, without giving them the slightest hint of your solution? These questions (and their remarkable answers) are in the realm of modern cryptography. In this talk I plan to survey some of the mathematical and computational ideas, definitions and assumptions which underlie privacy and security of the Internet and electronic commerce. We shall see how these lead to solutions of the questions above and many others. I will also explain the fragility of the current foundations of modern cryptography, and the need for stronger ones. No special background will be assumed.
Bio:
DR. AVI WIGDERSON is a widely recognized authority in theoretical computer science. His main research area is computational complexity theory. This field studies the power and limits of efficient computation and is motivated by such fundamental scientific problems as: Does P=NP? Can every efficient process be efficiently reversed? Can randomness enhance efficient computation? Can quantum mechanics enhance efficient computation? He has received, among other awards, both the Nevanlinna Prize and the G?del Prize.

CAIMS and PIMS are pleased to announce that Prof. Serdar Yuksel of Queen's University has been awarded the 2013 CAIMS/PIMS Early Career Award in Applied Mathematics. Prof. Yuksel received his MSc in 2003 and PhD in 2006, both from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, under the supervision of Tamer Basar. Subsequently, he did postdoctoral work at Yale University, and currently is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario, Canada.
Prof. Yuksel was cited "for his contributions to the areas of information and control theory, and the interface between these. "Professor Yuksel's main contributions are in two areas. In the first instance, he has made fundamental contributions to the study of control of systems under information constraints. He has developed a framework in which the factors that govern the feasibility of control systems with unreliability in data transfer are laid bare, and has designed effective control laws that can be shown to work. His second area of key contributions is in decentralized control, i.e. situations in which one has many agents whose behaviour one is trying to control, but in which agents do not communicate fully with one another, and/or some do not communicate at all. In this instance, Professor Yuksel has provided a framework for evaluating the extent and type of information that must be transmitted in order that the desired group behaviour can be achieved.
The award consists of a cash prize of $1,000 and a commemorative plaque that will be presented at the CAIMS Annual Meeting in Quebec City in June 2013. Prof. Yuksel will deliver a plenary lecture at the meeting as part of the award ceremony.

(Indiana University) on The Ubiquity of Analogy in
Mathematical Thought
Message-ID:
The Nathan and Beatrice Keyfitz Lectures in Mathematics and the Social
Sciences:
The Ubiquity of Analogy in Mathematical Thought
Douglas Hofstadter (Indiana University)
March 21, 2013 at 6:00 p.m.
Room 610, Health Sciences Building, University of Toronto
Mathematicians generally like to present their work in the wraps of extreme
rigor and pure logic. This professional posture is in some ways very
admirable. However, where do their ideas really come from? Do they strictly
follow the straight-and-narrow pathways of pure, rigorous, logical axiomatic
deduction in order to reach their often astonishing conclusions?
No.
This talk will be about how deeply and universally mathematical thought, at
all levels of sophistication, is riddled with impure, nonrigorous, illogical
intuitions originating in analogies, often highly unconscious ones. Some of
these analogies are good and some of them are bad, but good or bad, it is
they that lurk behind the scenes of all mathematical thought.
What is curious, to my mind, is that so few mathematicians seem to take
pleasure in examining and exploring this crucial and wonderful aspect of
their minds, their thoughts, and their deep discoveries. Perhaps, however,
they can be stimulated to examine their own hidden thinking processes if the
ubiquity of analogies can be made sufficiently vivid as to grab their
interest. So in this talk, I will do my best to provoke mathematicians. At
the same time, I will try equally hard to convey to non-mathematicians the
sheer joy of mathematical thinking, of mathematical invention, of
mathematical discovery, of mathematical revelation.
To convey this intense type of joy, I will conclude the talk with some
highly personal tales of analogical invention/discovery in mathematics,
because I still recall the profound and heady exhilaration they gave me over
50 years ago so vividly that it all might as well have happened just
yesterday.

The Engage and Interaction grants support industry-academic research
collaborations. Engage provides funding for first-time partnerships
between a university researcher and an industry partner - that is,
projects where the researcher and his industry partner have never
formally worked together in the past. Interaction underwrites travel
costs so a researcher can visit targeted companies (Canada only) to
discuss possible research collaborations.
Engage and Interaction grants will appeal to Partners in the analytics,
modelling and big data industry who want to forge new relationships with
Ryerson researchers. Unlike some comparable funding programs (including
NSERC's well-established Collaborative R&D grant program), no cash
contribution is required from the industry partner.
As an attendee, you will have the opportunity to connect with Ryerson's
academic researchers and learn more about funding opportunities from NSERC.

reception/exhibit opening - April 5, 2013
Message-ID: <5E1D708ED96964418652DB118E32237A39AEF4C24F@MBX2>
PIMS Reception and Exhibit opening:
"The Unravelers: Mathematical Snapshots"
Date: Friday, 5 April, 2013
Time: 4:00 pm
Location: Earth Sciences Building (ESB) Atrium and the Pacific Museum of the Earth Gallery, 2207 Main Mall, Vancouver BC
Summary:
The Unravelers is an original work by Jean-Fran?ois Dars, Annick Lesne and Anne Papillault. Published in the original French version by Belin in 2008, this book was published in English by A K Peters with the title: The Unravelers, mathematical snapshots. The book, featuring scientists at IH?S, was a best seller and led to the creation of an exhibition.
Through revealing photographs and accompanying text, this exhibit offers an enchanting and beautiful glimpse into the inner life of the Institut des Hautes ?tudes Scientifiques (IH?S).
The IH?S in France is an institute of advanced research in mathematics and theoretical physics with an interest in epistemology and the history of science. It provides exceptionally gifted scientists with a place where they can devote themselves entirely to their research, free of teaching and administrative constraints, and offers them the opportunity to invite visitors with whom they wish to work. The IH?S also welcomes researchers from all fields connected to mathematics, theoretical physics and the interface of these disciplines with biology.
Immediately preceding the reception, Jean-Pierre Bourguignon (Directeur de recherche, CNRS and Director, IH?S) will deliver a lecture entitled:
The Work of Misha Gromov, a Truly Original Thinker

PIMS Marsden Memorial Lecture
Date: June 10, 2013 at 5:00 pm
Location: Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences, Cambridge, UK
Speaker: Peter Constantin, Princeton University
Topic: Nonlocal Evolution Equations
Description: Constantin will describe results concerning evolution equations involving nonlocal terms. Particular examples will include the Surface Quasi-Geostrophic equation (SQG) and its generalizations. He will discuss a nonlinear maximum principle for linear nonlocal operators and applications to questions of regularity of solutions, long time dynamics and absence of anomalous dissipation in 2D SQG.
Bio: Peter Constantin conducts research in the analysis of partial differential equations arising in turbulent convection, turbulent transport, combustion, geophysics, complex fluids and reactive flows. He is the author of 150 papers and has given invited talks at the International Congress of Mathematicians, International Congress of Mathematical Physics and International Congress of Industrial and Applied Mathematics. Prof. Constantin is a Fellow of the Institute of Physics, London, the Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and an Inaugural Fellow of The American Mathematical Society. He is also the William R. Kenan, Jr. Professor of Mathematics and the Director of the Program in Applied and Computational Mathematics at Princeton University.
Other Information: The Marsden Memorial Lecture Series is dedicated to the memory of Jerrold E Marsden (1942-2010), a world-renowned Canadian applied mathematician. Marsden was the Carl F Braun Professor of Control and Dynamical Systems at Caltech, and prior to that he was at the University of California (Berkeley) for many years. He did extensive research in the areas of geometric mechanics, dynamical systems and control theory. He was one of the original founders in the early 1970's of reduction theory for mechanical systems with symmetry, which remains an active and much studied area of research today.

http://mine.kaust.edu.sa/Pages/CFP-MCS-SI.aspx)
Mathematics in Computer Science (
http://www.springer.com/birkhauser/mathematics/journal/11786)
There is a growing interest in applying mathematical theories and methods
(from topology, computational geometry, differential equations, fluid
dynamics, quantum statistics, etc.) to describe and to analyze scientific
regularities of diverse, massive, complex, nonlinear, and fast changing
data accumulated continuously around the world and in discovering and
revealing the valid, insightful, and valuable knowledge that data imply.
With increasingly solid mathematical foundations, various methods and
techniques have been studied and developed for data mining, modeling, and
processing, and knowledge representation, organization, and verification;
different systems and mechanisms have been designed to perform
data-intensive tasks in many application fields for classification,
predication, recommendation, ranking, filtering, etc. This MCS special
issue invites submissions of original research articles on the exploration
of new mathematical theories and methodologies for data modeling and
analysis, and knowledge discovery and management, on the study of existing
mathematical models of big data and complex knowledge, and on the
development of novel solutions and strategies to enhance the performance of
existing systems and mechanisms for data and knowledge processing. Specific
topics include, but are not limited to:
? Mathematical foundations and theories for data-intensive and
knowledge-based systems
? Mathematical, statistical, and dynamic analysis of data and
knowledge models
? Mathematical methods for big data storage, transferring, and
processing
? Mathematical methods for complex knowledge representation,
organization, visualization, and management
? Mathematical methods for data mining, pattern recognition,
artificial intelligence, and knowledge discovery
? Algebraic, geometric, analytic, discrete, probabilistic, fuzzy,
rough set, and cognitive modeling of recommendation systems, ranking
systems, rating systems, expert systems, etc.
? Mathematical theories for the development of evolutionary computing,
neural networks, and genetic algorithms

Subject: Second announcement : "Launch of the Chaire Poincar?" - Institut Henri Poincar? (Paris, V)
*Launch of the Poincar? Chair**
**Institut Henri Poincar? (Paris, V?)*
The Poincar? Chair owes its creation and its existence for the next five years to the reward the Clay Mathematics Institute, http://www.claymath.org/ (CMI, Providence, Rhode Island) has reserved for the solution of the Poincar? Conjecture.
The aim of this program, started in January 2013 by the Henri Poincar? Institute, http://www.ihp.fr/ (Paris, V?), is to allow young talented mathematicians to develop their skills in outstanding working conditions... just like Grigori Perelman benefited from a chair from the Miller Institute in Berkeley (California, USA) at the beginning of his career.
This research program of a *6 month or 1 year* duration comes with *a generous salary, an ideal mathematical environment in Paris, and no obligations* ; it is open to all thematics in mathematics.
The objective is to give young researchers on the edge of a promising international career the means to develop deep and audacious research projects, as well as to base their international recognition.
If you have any questions, please send an email to Sylvie Lhermitte via the following general email address: poincarechair@ihp.fr.

Dear CMATH Colleague,
Since 1945, the CMS has been serving the mathematics community. Today,
the CMS strives to promote the advancement, discovery, learning, and
application of mathematics in every facet of Canadian pursuits. Today,
CMS programs, partnerships, and services like CMATH, touch every
province and territory across Canada. And today, I would like to
personally invite you to help fuel the continued success of the CMS.
The success of the CMS would not be possible without the support of our
volunteers, members, partners, and institutional supporters like PIMS,
CRM and FIELDS and individuals like you who generously contribute to the
CMS and the Canadian mathematics community.
By contributing to the CMS, you make a real difference to mathematics in
Canada: high school students experience the fun and creative side of
math; graduate students have opportunities to present their work for the
first time at a CMS meeting, researches can showcase their discoveries
at CMS meetings and in CMS journals, and math educators share best
practices. At the same time the CMS provides support to various groups
across Canada including CanaDAM and Kangaroo
.
Your interest in and support of the CMS adds strength to the national
voice of Canadian mathematics here and abroad. When you support the CMS
you are also supporting other important initiatives like the national
lecture series for MPE2013
, the CUMC2013
, and the
inaugural MCA2013 congress.
You and the CMS are making a real difference in our mathematics
community and I would like to request a donation today to help support
the important work of the CMS. Your support is important, your gift
will help (and is tax deductible), and Canadian mathematics will be the
better for it!
Sincerely,
Keith Taylor
CMS President

Dear Colleague,
On behalf of the CMS, I am very appreciative of the recent donations
made to the CMS in response to our Spring 2013 campaign. Donations to
the CMS have been made for many reasons, including in memory of a
colleague, or to support our work with students, or simply to help
support our national voice. And there are some for whom their love of
mathematics simply always includes the CMS, like David Bates, Appointed
Director on the CMS Board of Directors and Chair of the Invested Funds
Committee, who has given to the CMS many times and in many ways and in
his own words eloquently explains why:
"Mathematics matters! Perhaps I'm preaching to the choir, but the
message is important. It's also important not to just 'Talk the Talk',
but to 'Walk the Walk'. Mathematics has been such an important part of
my working life that throughout my career as an actuary I have felt
compelled to volunteer my time and energy with actuarial organizations,
universities, and the CMS to support and promote mathematics education.
The CMS is the central professional organization for Canadian
mathematicians and is our public voice as it carries out so many
important functions through its competitions, research projects,
publications, meetings, and community outreach. To do this and more, it
needs not only our support as active and engaged members but also our
financial support. I know that my annual donation makes a difference
and I urge all members to consider an annual financial gift to help our
Society continue its vital work. As well, a financial legacy gift can
help our Society remain strong and relevant for the members and our
communities into the future. Join me and provide the support the CMS
needs. It matters!"
If you have not given yet, please join David and your colleagues and
myself and make a donation today to help support the work of CMS. The
CMS promotes the advancement, discovery, learning, and application of
mathematics and does so on your behalf and for our community at large.
Your support is important, your gift will help, and Canadian mathematics
will be the better for it!
Sincerely,
Keith Taylor
CMS President

Cher coll?gue,
Au nom de la SMC, je remercie sinc?rement toutes les personnes qui ont
fait un don ? la SMC dans le cadre de notre campagne du printemps 2013.
Vous avez donn? ? la SMC pour de nombreuses raisons, par exemple ? la
m?moire d'un coll?gue, pour soutenir notre travail aupr?s des ?tudiants
ou simplement pour nous aider ? tenir notre r?le de porte-parole
national. Pour certaines personnes, la passion des math?matiques suffit
en soi ? inclure la SMC dans leur liste de b?n?ficiaires. C'est
notamment le cas de David Bates, Directeur nomm? sur le Conseil
d'administration de la SMC et Pr?sident du Comit? des finances, qui a
donn? ? la SMC ? de nombreuses reprises et de toutes sortes de fa?ons,
et qui explique son geste avec grande ?loquence :
? Les math?matiques comptent! Je pr?che sans doute ? des convertis, mais
le message est important. Il est tout aussi important de ne pas se
limiter aux belles paroles, mais de donner l'exemple. Les math?matiques
occupent une si grande place dans mon travail d'actuaire que depuis le
d?but de ma carri?re, je consacre du temps et de l'?nergie b?n?volement
? des associations du domaine de l'actuariat, ? des universit?s et ? la
SMC pour promouvoir l'apprentissage des math?matiques. La SMC est le
principal regroupement professionnel des math?maticiens canadiens, et
notre porte-parole en raison de sa participation ? de si nombreuses
activit?s importantes : concours, projets de recherche, publications,
congr?s, sensibilisation. Pour faire tout cela et plus encore, elle a
besoin de notre appui comme membres actifs et engag?s, mais aussi de
notre soutien financier. Je sais que mon don annuel compte beaucoup, et
j'encourage tous les membres ? faire une contribution annuelle pour
aider notre Soci?t? ? poursuivre ses activit?s vitales. Un don au Fonds
de post?rit? est une autre fa?on d'assurer la vitalit? et la pertinence
futures de la Soci?t? pour ses membres et nos communaut?s. Unissons-nous
pour donner ? la SMC le soutien dont elle a besoin. ?a compte! ?
Si vous n'avez pas encore donn?, joignez-vous ? David, ? vos coll?gues
et ? moi-m?me et faites un don aujourd'hui m?me pour soutenir le travail
de la Soci?t?. La SMC a pour mission de promouvoir et de favoriser la
d?couverte et l'apprentissage des math?matiques, et les applications qui
en d?coulent. Elle le fait en votre nom et pour notre communaut? dans
son ensemble. Votre soutien est important, votre don fera une
diff?rence, et les math?matiques au Canada s'en porteront bien mieux!
Veuillez agr?er l'expression des mes sentiments les meilleurs.

Bonjour,
Nous vous invitons ? l'Universit? de Montr?al dans le cadre du vingti?me Congr?s Canadien des ?tudiants en Math?matiques, le plus grand congr?s en Am?rique du Nord destin? aux ?tudiants en math?matiques de premier cycle universitaire, qui se tiendra du 10 au 14 juillet 2013.
Le congr?s offre une opportunit? unique pour les ?tudiants d'acqu?rir une premi?re exp?rience de recherche. Par le biais de rencontres et d'expos?s, le CC?M propose une occasion d'?tablir des liens entre les ?tudiants des diff?rentes universit?s canadiennes, des liens dont b?n?ficieront les ?tudiants tout au long de leur carri?re math?matique. L'?v?nement offre ?galement une occasion de promouvoir les diff?rents domaines des math?matiques, en plus d'?tablir des r?seaux de contacts avec des personnes ressources oeuvrant dans les principaux domaines d'applications. Citons, entre autres, la physique, l'?conomie, l'informatique, les statistiques, les multiples g?nies et l'actuariat.
Le congr?s r?unit plus de deux-cents ?tudiants des divers milieux acad?miques qui se pr?senteront mutuellement des sujets qui les fascinent. C'est une exp?rience enrichissante pour les jeunes math?maticiens talentueux de sortir de leur contexte de travail habituel pour se r?unir et discuter de leurs int?r?ts communs. Il s'agit d'un ?v?nement exempt de comp?tition et nous croyons qu'un tel contexte encourage l'?change et la diversit?, ce qui est essentiel pour le d?veloppement des math?matiques ? travers le pays.
Les inscriptions se d?roulent de maintenant jusqu'au 23 juin, et il y a un rabais pour les gens qui s'inscriront avant le 1er juin. Si vous voulez plus d'informations sur l'horaire, comment vous rendre ou sur le congr?s en g?n?ral, vous pouvez visiter notre site web, www.ccem.math.ca, nous envoyer un courriel ? communications@ccem.math.ca ou encore demander sur notre page facebook, http://www.facebook.com/cumc2013

--------------------------------------------------------------
Hello,
We would like to invite you to Universit? de Montr?al for the twentieth Canadian Undergraduate Mathematical Conference. The CUMC is the largest conference in North America for undergraduate students in mathematics, and it will be held from July 10th to July 14th, 2013.
The conference offers a unique opportunity for students to acquire a first exposure to current research in different mathematical fields. Through seminars and social activities, the CUMC also provides venue for students to connect with other students from across Canada ? connections students can benefit from throughout their mathematical career. Furthermore, the event seeks to promote different fields within mathematics, and offers a unique opportunity for students to meet active researchers working in applied fields, such as physics, economics, informatics, statistics, engineering, and actuarial science.
The conference brings together more than two hundred students from various academic backgrounds. Each student has the opportunity to present a topic they find interesting. It is a rewarding experience for talented young mathematicians to go beyond the typical undergraduate experience and meet to discuss their common interests with like-minded students. It is a non-competitive event because we believe that such a context best facilitates the exchange of ideas and encourages diversity, which is essential for the development of mathematics across the country.
Registrations are from now until June 23rd, and there is an early bird registration discount before June 1st. If you want more information, on the schedule, how to get to Montr?al or about the conference in general, you can visit our website, www.cumc.math.ca, you can ask on our facebook page http://www.facebook.com/cumc2013 or send us an e-mail at communications@cumc.math.ca.

Message-ID:
RANDOM WALKS: MUSIC OF XENAKIS AND BEYOND
Celebrating the Music and Legacy of Iannis Xenakis
May 24-25, 2013 in Toronto and Waterloo
The Fields Institute, together with the Perimeter Institute and the
Institute for Quantum Computing in Waterloo present a two-day festival of
contemporary string quartet, percussion, and electroacoustic music, together
with lectures and discussion on the impact of Xenakis's work.
Iannis Xenakis was one of the most intriguing and influential composers of
the 20th century. As one of the pioneers of computer music, Xenakis explored
algorithmic approaches to composition and was known for expanding sound
worlds of traditional ensembles, especially his expansive use of percussion
instruments. His works and ideas have inspired generations of composers
since.
The festival features the JACK Quartet, TorQ Percussion, the McGill and
University of Toronto Percussion Ensembles, as well as a concert of
electroacoustics, video, and robotic performers.

Hi,
We are holding the annual Canadian Undergraduate Conference Mathematics Conferences next summer at Universit? de Montr?al, a great opportunity for undergrad students to gain experience in giving a talk and meeting fellow mathematicians for a week.
Could you please transfer the following message to your undergraduate students in mathematics and statistics?
Jean Lagac?
CUMC organizing committee
--------------------------
Hi,
We are inviting you to come to Universit? de Montr?al, for the twentieth Canadian Undergraduate Mathematical Conference. The CUMC is the largest conference in North America for undergraduate students in mathematics, and it will be held from July 10th to July 14th 2013.
The conference offers a unique opportunity for students to acquire a first exposure to current research in different mathematical fields. Through seminars and social activities, the CUMC also provides venue for students to connect with other students from across Canada ? connections students can benefit from throughout their mathematical career. Furthermore, the event seeks to promote different fields within mathematics, and offers a unique opportunity for students to meet active researchers working in applied fields, such as physics, economics, informatics, statistics, engineering, and actuarial science.
The conference brings together more than two hundred students from various academic backgrounds. Each student has the opportunity to present a topic they find interesting. It is a rewarding experience for talented young mathematicians to go beyond the typical undergraduate experience and meet to discuss their common interests with like-minded students. It is a non-competitive event because we believe that such a context best facilitates the exchange of ideas and encourages diversity, which is essential for the development of mathematics across the country.
Registrations are from now until June 23rd, and there is an early bird registration discount before June 1st. If you want more information, on the schedule, how to get to Montr?al or about the conference in general, you can visit our website, www.cumc.math.ca, you can ask on our Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/cumc2013 or send us an e-mail at communications@cumc.math.ca.

*2013 Honorary Membership*
(Le fran?ais suit l'anglais)
*Professor Chris A. Field,* Professor at Dalhousie University, Halifax
has been awarded Honorary Membership in the Statistical Society of
Canada. Professor Field received his award at University of Alberta,
Edmonton, where more than 500 statisticians are gathered for the
Society?s 41?st Annual Meeting. This award is intended to honour an
individual who has made exceptional contributions to the development of
the statistical sciences in Canada and whose work has had a major impact
in this country.
Professor Christopher Arnell Field was born during an air raid seven
decades ago in Portsmouth, England. His interest in statistics was
sparked as a child in Sydney, Nova Scotia, collecting statistics on his
favourite baseball team, the Brooklyn Dodgers. He received his BSc from
Dalhousie University in 1964 and his PhD from Northwestern University in
1968. After graduation he served as an Attach? de recherches at the
Universit? de Montr?al and then as a Postdoctoral Fellow at Dalhousie.
He was appointed Assistant Professor at Dalhousie in 1970, Professor in
1983, and Professor Emeritus after his retirement in 2005. He is proof
of the existence of a statistics gene; his son Brian studied statistics,
and similarly his grandson Trent intends to enrol in statistics at Waterloo.
Professor Field is one of Canada?s most broadly influential
statisticians and educators and a gifted and dedicated teacher. He is
also a devoted public servant, who, with great competence, has served
Canadian statistics through leadership roles, as Chair of the NSERC
Statistical Sciences Grant Selection Committee, as Director of
Statistics at Dalhousie and founding Director of the Statistical
Consulting Service, and in many other administrative roles at Dalhousie
where the department has been shaped by his influence. He was President
of the Nova Scotia Institute of Science, and President of the SSC, and
has acted as the Program Chair for two of the Society?s Annual Meetings
and as Local Arrangements Chair in two others. His research is an
impressive record of deep theoretical developments tempered with an
appropriate perspective that has advanced the applied side of the
discipline, often not measured by the complexity of the underlying
mathematics but by exposing its simplicity. He made early and important
contributions to our understanding of the properties of M-estimators and
was a pioneer in the application of saddlepoint approximations. His
delightful book with Elvezzio Ronchetti, Small Sample Asymptotics, is a
classic. More recently he has been involved with statistical genetics
problems associated with fish and plant populations.
In recognition of the breadth of his contri-butions to the discipline,
Chris was awarded the SSC?s Distinguished Service Award in 2004 and the
Gold Medal in 2006. He is also a Fellow of the American Statistical
Association.
The citation for the award reads:
?To Chris Field, for his fundamental contributions to the statistical
sciences in the areas of robustness and small sample asymptotics, for
his interdisciplinary research in biology, and for decades of devoted
service to statistical consulting and education including his service as
President of the Nova Scotia Institute of Science and President of the
Statistical Society of Canada.?

(Le fran?ais suit l'anglais)
*Professor Bovas Abraham*, Professor at University of Waterloo, Waterloo
has been awarded Honorary Membership in the Statistical Society of
Canada. Professor Abraham received his award at University of Alberta,
Edmonton, where more than 500 statisticians are gathered for the
Society?s 41?st Annual Meeting. This award is intended to honour an
individual who has made exceptional contributions to the development of
the statistical sciences in Canada and whose work has had a major impact
in this country.
Bovas Abraham is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Statistics and
Actuarial Science at the University of Waterloo. He was born in June
1942 in Kerala, South India, where he attended school in the village of
Kariamplave, Ranni, where his parents still reside. He attended the
University of Kerala when this state installed the world?s first elected
communist government. He has two brothers and a sister, and two
wonderful daughters, Linzy and Linn and boasts that his wife, Annamma,
is an exquisite cook and a creative quilter.
After graduation, he taught in a college in Kerala and refined his
teaching skills in Cape Coast, Ghana, preparing students for the A-Level
examinations of the University of London. By coincidence, while he was
in Ghana, a coup overthrowing the government of Nkrumah occurred. Bovas
continues to deny any involvement. A happier coup occurred in the same
period when he married Annamma in 1967 while on vacation in Kerala.
Bovas obtained his MSc from the University of Guelph in 1971 and his PhD
in 1975 from the University of Wisconsin, Madison, under the supervision
of George Box. After spending two years at Dalhousie University he moved
to Waterloo. He has been a faculty member at the University of Waterloo
in the Department of Statistics and Actuarial Science since 1977.
Professor Abraham has devoted his considerable talent and energy to the
statistical sciences in many different capacities. He is a former
President of the SSC and the founding president of the Business and
Industrial Statistics Section of the SSC as well as the founding
president of the International Society for Business and Industrial
Statistics. He was the Director of the Institute for Improvement in
Quality and Productivity at the University of Waterloo for nearly ten
years. He has been involved in graduate training, teaching courses and
supervising Masters and PhD students since 1977. He has published
extensively in time series analysis, quality improvement, and the
management and implementation of statistical procedures such as designed
experiments, SPC and is co-author of the popular books, Statistical
Methods for Forecasting, and Introduction to Regression Modeling. He has
also acted as an educator and consultant in a wide range of statistical
applications in industry in Canada, Latin America, India, and the United
States.
Bovas is also a recipient of many other awards. He is a Fellow of the
American Society for Quality, a Fellow of the American Statistical
Association, a Fellow of the Royal Statistical Society, an Elected
Member of the International Statistical Institute. In addition, he holds
the Service Award from the International Statistical Institute (2007)
and the William G. Hunter award from the Statistics Division of the
American Society for Quality (2006).
The citation for the award reads:
?To Bovas Abraham, for his fundamental contributions to the statistical
sciences, advances in time series analysis, statistical methods for
quality improvement, and industrial statistics, for dissemination of
statistical methodology through authorship of textbooks, and for his
service as founding president of the Business and Industrial Statistics
Section and President of the Statistical Society of Canada.?

*2013 Impact Award *
(Le fran?ais suit l'anglais)
The Statistical Society of Canada announced today that *Professor David
J. Thomson*, Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics
at Queen?s University, Kingston is the 2013 recipient of the Award for
Impact of Applied and Collaborative Work. Professor Thomson receives his
award at University of Alberta, Edmonton, where more than 500
statisticians are gathered for the Society?s 41?st Annual Meeting. The
award recognizes outstanding contributions by members of the SSC in
collaborative research and applied work, the importance of which derives
primarily from its relatively recent impact on a subject area outside of
the statistical sciences, on an area of application, or on an organization.
David was born on 1942 in St. John, New Brunswick. He attended Acadia
University in Wolfville, obtaining a Bachelor of Science (Honours) in
Mathematics and Physics in 1965. Soon after, he moved south to New
Jersey, having been hired by Bell Telephone Laboratories into a
development division, and to take part in their Graduate Study Program.
Accordingly, through this program David completed an MS (1967) and a PhD
(1971) in Electrical Engineering, both degrees granted by Brooklyn
Polytechnic Institute (now part of NYU), while completing a set of
internal courses on topics so new that textbooks did not yet exist.
When David originally joined Bell Labs, he was placed in the ?Outside
Plant? division, which was concerned with elements of telecommunications
networks that are placed outside. This included long-line transmission
systems, and from 1966 to 1977, while simultaneously working on his
graduate degrees, David was involved with the WT4 Millimeter Waveguide
Project, a work that was seminal in his eventual discovery and
publication of the multitaper method of spectrum estimation. Following
the conclusion of the WT4 project, David spent 1977 through 1984 on a
team involved with the development of the first commercial cellular
phone systems. As part of this work, David was awarded five of his
eventual 27 patents. During this time, he was also promoted to
Distinguished Member of Technical Staff, at the time the highest
possible title at Bell Labs for a scientist or engineer.
In parallel with his work on cellular phone systems, David found time to
write his best-known statistical work, the 1982 paper entitled Spectrum
Estimation and Harmonic Analysis, published in the Proceedings of the
IEEE. This paper has received over 1900 external citations, and has been
highly influential in the related fields of geophysics, seismology,
helioseismology and sig-nal processing. The key accomplishment of this
paper was to explain why multiple data tapers are needed for spectrum
estimation. This work gave a consistent estimator for power spectra and
practical tools for harmonic analysis. Multitaper anal-ysis converted
spectrum estimation from something in the realm of ?black magic? to a
rigorous scientific tool, correcting problems that had been known as far
back as Lord Rayleigh and Sir F. Arthur Schuster in the late 1800s.
In 1983 David moved to the Mathematics of Communications Department
within the mathematics research area of Bell Labs. He was fortunate
enough to have a position that allowed tremendous flexibility in his
choice of research, and from 1984 to 2000 David worked on projects in
the areas of digital signal processing, robust statistics, electrical
engineering circuit design, phase tracking and time delay problems,
communications satellite failure analysis, magnetotellurics, and
externally (to Bell Labs) inspired fields of seismology,
paleoclimatology, gravitational lensing (astrophysics) and medicine.
David was recruited by Queen?s University in 2001, and since then has
been a Professor and Canada Research Chair (Tier 1) in Statistics and
Signal Processing in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. In
his 11 years with Queen?s, he has supervised 10 MSc and eight PhD
students, and has seven additional students at various stages of their
studies. Through his career at Bell Labs and Queen?s University, David
authored or co-authored 130 peer-reviewed journal papers or conference
proceedings, wrote over 300 technical reports, has been granted 27
patents, contributed 15 book chapters, and has received many thousands
of citations.
David has also received a number of honours in his long career. He was a
Green Scholar at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography (UCSD, 1983), a
Steinbeck Visiting Scholar at the Wood?s Hole Oceanographic Institute
(1985), a Visiting Professor at Princeton (Statistics, 1993), an Adjunct
Professor at Scripps (UCSD, 1993?1998), a Visiting Professor at Stanford
(Statistics, 1996) and a Houghton Lecturer (MIT, 1996). He has also
served as Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on Information Theory
(1984?1990), Chair for the Signals and Systems panel of the Commission C
of URSI (1991?1999), Associate Editor for Radio Science (1996?2000) and
was on the Panel on Physical Sciences (National Research Council, US
Army Research Labs, 1997?2000). He has been elected as a Fellow of the
IEEE (1991), as a Chartered Statistician (Royal Statistical Society,
1993), a Killam Fellow (Canada Council for the Arts, 2009?2011), a
Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada (2010), and is a Professional
Engineer (PEO). Since 2008 he has also been a member of the Space and
Atmospheric Advisory Committee (SAEAC) for the Canadian Space Agency.
The Impact Award was given to David both for his creation of the
multitaper spectrum estimator and its subsequent application of the
associated theory to a multitude of scientific and technological
problems. The technological applications of the multitaper method are
myriad, including applications in Nuclear Test Ban Treaty verification,
and ensuring accuracy of touch-tone phone signals against noisy
backgrounds (for which several patents were granted). In science, David
has contributed in significant ways to climatology, geophysics, and
space and solar physics through detailed statistical analysis of
large-scale time series data sets. His 1990 Nature and 1995 Science
papers were the first statistical analyses of climate data that
conclusively showed a relationship between global temperature and
atmospheric CO2, and have been key contributors to further discussions
about global warming.
Since 1990 David has tirelessly pursued a two-decade-long work exploring
data series from a number of spacecraft (especially, but not limited to,
the Ulysses project, on which he was Co-Investigator) and has had a
profound impact on our understanding of interplanetary magnetic fields
and the Sun. His recent discovery of the existence in numerous
scientific data sets of signatures of buoyancy (g-) modes that are
theorized to exist in the Sun is contributing to a strong change in
scientific understanding of the structure of the Sun, its magnetic
fields, and their relationship to our climate and environment on Earth.
Finally, David also contributed to robustness and improved error bounds
in the magnetotelluric method, a geophysical technique that measures
magnetic and electric fields on the Earth?s surface (especially the
seafloor) and uses these measurements to determine electrical
conductivity. From a statistical point of view, this problem can be
viewed as regression with complex predictors and response, with the
predictors being highly collinear and both the predictors and response
being often contaminated by outliers. The magnetotelluric method has
become standard in the field of geophysics, and is an important tool for
scientists working to understand the structure of the sub-surface of the
Earth.
David currently lives in Kingston, Ontario with his wife, Maja-Lisa, and
their two cats, Loki and Selkit. They have two grown children and one
grandson, and in his spare time David enjoys woodworking, reading about
history and attending classical music performances. His love of the
last, especially chamber music, produces both relaxation and inspires
his creativity. David will deliver the SSC Impact Award Address at the
2014 Annual Meeting of the SSC.
The citation for the award reads:
?To David J. Thomson, in recognition of his creation of the multitaper
spectrum estimator, and its subsequent application to the related fields
of geophysics, climatology and helioseismology; especially in connection
with his discovery of the existence of solar g-mode signatures in
scientific data.?

* Prix pour impact 2013*
La Soci?t? statistique du Canada a annonc? aujourd?hui que *David J.
Thomson* du D?partement de math?matiques et de statistique de
l?Universit? Queens ? Kingston est le r?cipiendaire 2013 de son prix
pour l?impact du travail collaboratif et appliqu?. Le professeur Thomson
a re?u son prix ? la University of Alberta (Edmonton, AB), o? plus de
500 statisticiens participent au 41e congr?s annuel de la Soci?t?. Ce
prix salue les contributions exceptionnelles de membres de la SSC ? des
travaux de recherche de nature appliqu?e r?alis?s en collaboration, dont
l?importance d?coule principalement de leur impact relativement r?cent
sur un organisme ou dans un domaine du savoir autre que la statistique.
David est n? en 1942 ? Saint-Jean (Nouveau-Brunswick). Il a ?tudi? ? la
Acadia University ? Wolfville ; il a obtenu son baccalaur?at ?s sciences
sp?cialis? en math?matiques et en physique en 1965. Peu de temps apr?s,
il a d?m?nag? dans le New Jersey, ayant ?t? recrut? par la Division du
d?veloppement de Bell Telephone Laboratories en vue de participer ? leur
programme d??tudes de cycle sup?rieur. Il a ainsi compl?t? une ma?trise
(1967) et un doctorat (1971) en g?nie ?lectrique au Brooklyn Polytechnic
Institute (qui fait aujourd?hui partie de NYU), tout en suivant des
cours maison sur des sujets si neufs qu?il n?existait encore aucun
manuel ? leur sujet.
Lorsque David s?est joint ? Bell Labs, il a d?abord ?t? affect? ? la
division du ? r?seau ext?rieur ?, qui travaillait sur les ?l?ments
ext?rieurs des r?seaux de t?l?communications, dont les longs syst?mes de
transmission. De 1966 ? 1977, tout en poursuivant ses ?tudes, David a
contribu? au projet WT4 de guides d?ondes millim?triques, un projet qui
a inspir? sa d?couverte puis sa publication de la m?thode ? multitaper ?
d?estimation spectrale. Apr?s la conclusion du projet WT4, David a
travaill? de 1977 ? 1984 au sein d?une ?quipe participant au
d?veloppement des premiers syst?mes de t?l?phones cellulaires
commerciaux. C?est dans le cadre de ces activit?s que David a obtenu
cinq de ses 27 brevets. Pendant cette p?riode, il a aussi ?t? promu
Membre distingu? du personnel technique, titre r?serv? ? l??poque aux
meilleurs scientifiques et ing?nieurs de Bell Labs.
En parall?le ? ses travaux sur les syst?mes de t?l?phonie cellulaire,
David a trouv? le temps de r?diger son ouvrage le plus connu, un article
intitul? Spectrum Estimation and Harmonic Analysis, publi? en 1982 dans
les Proceedings of the IEEE. Cet article, qui a ?t? cit? plus de 1900
fois, a eu une tr?s grande influence dans les domaines connexes de la
g?ophysique, de la sismologie, de l?h?liosismologie et du traitement des
signaux. Le r?sultat crucial de l?article motive l?emploi de plusieurs ?
tapers ? (ou fen?tres de pond?ration) pour l?estimation spectrale. Il
fournit un estimateur convergent pour les spectres de puissance et des
outils pratiques pour l?analyse harmonique. L?analyse ? multitaper ? a
permis de transformer l?estimation spectrale, jadis per?ue comme de la ?
magie noire ?, en un outil scientifique rigoureux, corrigeant des
probl?mes qui dataient des travaux de Lord Rayleigh et Sir F. Arthur
Schuster ? la fin du 19e si?cle.
En 1983 David a ?t? mut? au D?partement de math?matiques des
communications du Service de recherches en math?matiques de Bell Labs.
Heureusement pour lui, son poste lui accordait une grande libert? au
plan de la recherche ; c?est ainsi qu?entre 1984 et 2000, il a pu
participer ? des projets en traitement des signaux num?riques, en
statistique robuste et en conception de circuits (g?nie ?lectrique) ; il
a aussi r?solu des probl?mes de rep?rage de phase et de d?lais,
d?analyse des pannes de communication par satellite, de
magn?totellurique et, en dehors de Bell Labs, de sismologie, de
pal?oclimatologie, de lentilles gravitationnelles (astrophysique) et de
m?decine.
David a ?t? recrut? par la Queen?s University en 2001, o? il travaille
depuis ? titre de professeur et Chaire de recherche du Canada (niveau 1)
en statistique et traitement des signaux au D?partement de math?matiques
et de statistique. Durant ses 11 ann?es ? Queen?s, il a encadr? 10
?tudiants ? la ma?trise et huit ?tudiants au doctorat ; il supervise
actuellement sept autres ?tudiants ? divers stades de leurs ?tudes.
Pendant sa carri?re chez Bell Labs et ? Queen?s, David a r?dig? ou
cor?dig? 130 articles pour des revues ? comit? de lecture ou des actes
de congr?s et plus de 300 rapports techniques ; il s?est aussi vu
octroyer 27 brevets, a ?crit 15 chapitres pour des ouvrages et a ?t?
cit? des milliers de fois.
En outre, David a re?u de nombreux honneurs tout au long de sa carri?re.
Il a ?t? chercheur Green ? l?Institut d?oc?anographie Scripps (UCSD,
1983), chercheur invit? Steinbeck ? l?Institut oc?anographique de Wood?s
Hole (1985), professeur invit? ? Princeton (statistique, 1993),
professeur associ? ? Scripps (UCSD, 1993?1998), professeur invit? ?
Stanford (statistique, 1996) et conf?rencier Houghton (MIT, 1996). Il a
?galement ?t? membre du Comit? de r?daction de IEEE Transactions on
Information Theory (1984?1990), pr?sident du panel Signaux et syst?mes
de la Commission C de l?URSI (1991?1999), r?dacteur adjoint de Radio
Science (1996?2000) et membre du Panel des sciences physiques (National
Research Council, US Army Research Labs, 1997?2000). Il est membre ?lu
de l?IEEE (1991), statisticien agr?? (Royal Statistical Society, 1993)
et a ?t? boursier Killam (Conseil des arts du Canada, 2009?2011) ; il
est membre de la Soci?t? royale du Canada (2010) et ing?nieur
professionnel (PEO). Depuis 2008 il est ?galement membre du Comit?
consultatif des environnements spatial et atmosph?rique (SAEAC) de
l?Agence spatiale canadienne.
Le Prix pour l?impact est d?cern? ? David ? la fois pour l?invention de
l?estimation spectrale de type ? multitaper ? et l?application
ult?rieure de la th?orie associ?e ? de multiples probl?mes scientifiques
et technologiques. Ces derni?res sont innombrables, notamment dans les
domaines de la v?rification du Trait? d?interdiction compl?te des essais
nucl?aires et de la pr?cision des signaux de t?l?phone ? tonalit? en
pr?sence de parasites (domaines pour lesquels plusieurs brevets lui ont
?t? accord?s).
En science, David a largement contribu? ? la climatologie, la
g?ophysique et la physique spatiale et solaire gr?ce ? ses analyses
statistiques d?taill?es de s?ries chronologiques ? grande ?chelle. Ses
articles dans Nature (1990) et Science (1995) constituent les premi?res
analyses statistiques de donn?es climatiques qui montrent de mani?re
concluante une relation entre la temp?rature mondiale et le CO2
atmosph?rique ; ils ont contribu? de mani?re essentielle au d?bat sur le
r?chauffement climatique.
Depuis 1990, David poursuit inlassablement son exploration de s?ries
chronologiques provenant de plusieurs v?hicules spatiaux (dans le cadre,
notamment, du projet Ulysses, dont il est l?un des co-enqu?teurs) et il
a eu un profond impact sur notre compr?hension des champs magn?tiques
interplan?taires et du Soleil. Sa r?cente d?couverte de la pr?sence,
dans de nombreux ensembles de donn?es, de signatures de modes de
ballottement (gravit?) dont on soup?onne l?existence dans le Soleil, a
contribu? ? une meilleure compr?hension scientifique de la structure du
Soleil et de ses champs magn?tiques et de leurs relations avec le climat
et l?environnement sur la Terre.
Enfin, David a ?galement contribu? ? l??tude de la robustesse et ?
l?am?lioration des limites d?erreur dans la m?thode magn?totellurique,
une technique g?ophysique qui permet de mesurer les champs magn?tiques
et ?lectriques ? la surface de la Terre (notamment sur le fond
oc?anique) et d?utiliser ces mesures pour d?terminer la conductivit?
?lectrique. D?un point de vue statistique, ce probl?me peut ?tre
consid?r? comme une r?gression avec des variables exog?nes et endog?nes
complexes dans laquelle les variables explicatives sont hautement
colin?aires et toutes les variables peuvent contenir des donn?es
aberrantes. La m?thode magn?totellurique est maintenant la norme en
g?ophysique et constitue un outil important pour les chercheurs qui
essaient de comprendre la structure du sous-sol terrestre.
David vit actuellement ? Kingston (Ontario) avec son ?pouse Maja-Lisa et
leurs deux chats, Loki et Selkit. Ils ont deux enfants et un petit-fils
; dans ses temps libres, David aime travailler le bois, lire des livres
d?histoire et assister ? des concerts de musique classique. Son
appr?ciation de la musique de chambre l?aide ? se d?tendre et stimule sa
cr?ativit?.
Le professeur David J. Thomson pr?sentera l?allocution du Prix pour
impact de la SSC lors du congr?s annuel 2014 de la Soci?t?.
La citation pour le prix se lit comme suit :
? ? David K. Thompson, en reconnaissance de sa cr?ation de l?estimation
spectrale de type ? multitaper ? et de ses applications dans des
domaines connexes tels la g?ophysique, la climatologie et

*2013 Distinguished Service Award*
(Le fran?ais suit l'anglais)
The Statistical Society of Canada announced today that the recipient of
its 2013 Distinguished Service Award is Professor *Nancy Reid*, of the
University of Toronto. Prof. Reid received her award at University of
Alberta, Edmonton, where more than 500 statisticians are gathered for
the Society?s 41?st Annual Meeting. The Distinguished Service Award is
intended to honour a person who contributed substantially and over a
period of several years to the operation or welfare of the SSC.
Nancy Reid is University Professor and Canada Research Chair in
Statistical Methodology at the University of Toronto. She received her
BMath degree from the University of Waterloo in 1974 with a major in
Statistics, her MSc in Statistics from the University of British
Columbia in 1976, and her PhD from Stanford University under the
supervision of R.G. Miller. Nancy returned to Canada in 1980 as an
Assistant Professor at UBC, moving to the University of Toronto in 1986,
where she has been ever since. She has served on the scientific advisory
panels of the National Program on Complex Data Structures, the Centre de
recherches math?matiques, the Fields Institute for Research in the
Mathematical Sciences, the Pacific Institute for Mathematical Sciences,
and the Banff International Research Station. She served as Chair of the
Statistics Department at the University of Toronto. She has served the
Statistical Society of Canada in many roles, as Society President, Chair
of the Awards Committee, and Editor of The Canadian Journal of
Statistics, as well as local organiser of the 1983 Annual Meeting. She
has served the statistical sciences in many other capacities as well: as
President of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics, Vice-President of
the International Statistical Institute, Associate Editor of The Annals
of Statistics, Statistical Science, Biometrika, and of the Journal of
the Royal Statistical Society, among others. Her service to the
scientific community through involvement in NSERC has been constant: on
NSERC Council, Chair of the NSERC Liaison Committee for Statistical
Sciences and most recently Chair of the Steering Committee for the Long
Range Plan for Mathematical and Statistical Sciences Research in Canada.
In 1992 Nancy became the first woman to receive the Presidents? Award of
the Committee of Presidents of Statistical Societies (COPSS), awarded
annually to a young statistician in recognition of outstanding
contributions to the profession of statistics. In 1995 she presented the
first Canadian Mathematical Society Prize-Lectureship for distinguished
research by women in mathematics, now known as the Krieger-Nelson Prize
Lectureship. In 2000 she was invited to give the Wald lectures at the
Annual Meeting of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics. She received
a 2003 Faculty of Mathematics Alumni Achievement Medal from the
University of Waterloo ?for her internationally recognized research
accomplishments in the field of statistics, and for her outstanding
contributions to university education and professional societies.? In
2008 she received the Emanuel and Carol Parzen Prize for Statistical
Innovation from the Department of Statistics at Texas A&M University. In
2009 she received the Statistical Society of Canada?s Gold Medal.
Nancy?s research has had a profound influence on statistical theory,
likelihood inference, and design of studies. Along with her colleagues
she has developed higher order asymptotic methods both for use in
applications, and as a means to study theoretical aspects of the
foundations of inference, including the interface between Bayesian and
frequentist methods. She is interested in a number of substantive areas,
including inference from large-scale surveys, environmental
epidemiology, and high-energy physics. In 1987, her paper with Sir David
Cox on orthogonal parameters and approximate conditional inference was
read to the Royal Statistical Society. This very important contribution
to the fabric of statistical theory introduced the ?Cox?Reid
likelihood?, still a standard method for correcting the likelihood in
complex problems. This paper continues to be widely cited, and has led
to considerable further research by Nancy and others. She has also
developed new methods for obtaining highly accurate inference from the
likelihood function, in a joint research program with Professor Emeritus
D.A.S. Fraser, O.C. This extends and develops ideas first promoted by
Fisher in the 1930s and has led to deeper understanding of the
foundations of statistical inference. She has authored over 80 journal
publications in statistics as well as four books, including The Theory
of the Design of Experiments with Sir David R. Cox (2000) and Applied
Asymptotics with Alessandra Brazzale and Anthony Davison (2007).
Through her extraordinary dedication, prodigious energy and wisdom,
Nancy Reid has been relentless in her support of the statistical
sciences in Canada and internationally.
The citation for the award reads:

Statistical Society of Canada and to her many contributions to the
community of statistical scientists in Canada and internationally at

*2013 Gold Medal
* (Le fran?ais suit l'anglais)
The Statistical Society of Canada announced today that the recipient of
its 2013 Gold Medal is *Prof. Jeffrey Rosenthal*, from the University of
Toronto. Prof. Rosenthal received his award at University of Alberta,
Edmonton, where more than 500 statisticians are gathered for the
Society?s 41?st Annual Meeting. The Gold Medal is awarded to a person
who has made outstanding contributions to statistics, or to probability,
either to mathematical developments or in applied work.
Consider the following remarkable existence problem: there exists a
Canadian statistician, part-time comedian, musician, born on Friday the
thirteenth during the Canadian Centennial, who is quoted in the New York
Times, who has appeared in Cadbury milk chocolate commercials, on
William Shatner?s television program ?Weird or What??, on CBC
television?s ?The Fifth Estate?, and whose day job involves winning
awards both for research and teaching and writing best-selling books.
Professor Jeffrey Rosenthal, of the Department of Statistics at the
University of Toronto, demonstrates the existence of a solution to this
problem, and his monumental achievements seem to guarantee uniqueness
for decades to come. The son of mathematical parents in Scarborough,
Ontario, Jeffrey graduated from Woburn Collegiate in 1984, from the BSc
program in Mathematics, Physics and Computer Science at the University
of Toronto in 1988, and with a PhD in Mathematics from Harvard
University under the supervision of Persi Diaconis in 1992.
Since 1993, Jeff has been on faculty in the Department of Statistics at
the University of Toronto. His research areas are probability theory,
stochastic processes, and Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms,
with applications to statistics and to interdisciplinary applications of
statistics. His research has had a profound influence on the fields of
probability and statistics, and his writings and many public appearances
on the public understanding of probability and its applications. He has
made fundamental contributions to the Markov chain theory and to the
convergence analysis of Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithms. His
introduction of the ?minorization conditions? in his influential 1993
JASA publication has a far-reaching impact and is widely cited. Jeff?s
exemplifications of how to obtain a practical convergence, found in both
this 1993 JASA and his 1992 Annals of Statistics articles, have become a
standard practice for researchers to prove convergence of a MCMC
algorithm. Jeff?s research interest is extremely broad and his
contributions also range broadly, including slice sampler, convergence
diagnostics, exact/perfect sampling, MCMC algorithm design,
regeneration, and adaptive MCMC. A central theme of Jeff?s contribution
is to obtain practical and useful theoretical results, for example
accurate quantitative bounds, conditions for geometric convergence,
practical perfect sampling, etc.
Jeff was named a Fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics in
2005, received the CRM-SSC prize in 2006, and in 2007 was awarded the
prestigious Presidents? Award from the Committee of Presidents of
Statistical Societies (COPSS award). He was elected to Fellowship of the
Royal Society of Canada in 2012. Jeff?s book for the general public,
Struck by Lightning: The Curious World of Probabilities, is being
published in sixteen editions and ten languages, and was a bestseller in
Canada. It led to numerous media and public appearances. Jeff has also
published two textbooks about probability theory, and over ninety
refereed research papers.
Jeff has contributed to probability and statistics in Canada and
internationally in every corner of the spectrum, from the mathematical
depth of his research in probability, his attention to applications, to
the public understanding of risk and the role of probability and
statistics in everyday life.
The citation for the award reads:
?To Jeffrey Rosenthal, for pioneering research in the probabilistic
analysis of convergence of Markov chain Monte Carlo methods, randomised
computer algorithms and diverse interdisciplinary applications of
statistics. For excellence in education and his many contributions to
statistical literacy in Canada and beyond.?

de minorisation ?, publi? dans JASA en 1993, continue d?avoir un impact
significatif et est largement cit?. Les techniques de majoration de la
convergence d?crites par Jeff dans ses articles de JASA (1993) et des
Annals of Statistics (1992) sont commun?ment utilis?es par les
chercheurs pour d?montrer la convergence des algorithmes MCMC. Les
int?r?ts de recherche de Jeff sont extr?mement vastes et ses
contributions tout aussi ?tendues portent notamment sur les
?chantillonneurs par tranche, les diagnostics de convergence,
l??chantillonnage parfait, la conception d?algorithmes MCMC, la
r?g?n?ration et les algorithmes adaptatifs. Les travaux de Jeff sont
marqu?s par le souci de trouver des r?sultats th?oriques utiles, tels
que des bornes quantitatives pr?cises, des conditions pour la
convergence g?om?trique, des r?sultats sur l??chantillonnage parfait, etc.
Jeff a ?t? ?lu compagnon de l?Institut de statistique math?matique en
2005, a remport? le prix CRM-SSC en 2006 et s?est vu d?cerner le
prestigieux Prix COPSS du Comit? des pr?sidents des soci?t?s
statistiques en 2007. Il a ?t? ?lu membre de la Soci?t? royale du Canada
en 2012. Son ouvrage de vulgarisation, Struck by Lightning: The Curious
World of Probabilities, publi? en seize ?ditions et en dix langues, est
devenu un succ?s de librairie au Canada. Il lui a valu de nombreuses
interventions dans les m?dias et en public. Jeff a ?galement publi? deux
ouvrages en th?orie des probabilit?s et plus de quatre-vingt-dix
articles dans des revues de recherche ? comit? de lecture.
Jeff a contribu? ? tous les domaines des probabilit?s et de la
statistique, au Canada et ? l??tranger, tant par la profondeur
math?matique de ses travaux de recherche en probabilit?s, que par son
int?r?t pour les applications et ses efforts pour sensibiliser le public
au risque et au r?le des probabilit?s et de la statistique dans la vie
de tous les jours.
La citation pour le prix se lit comme suit :
? ? Jeffrey Rosenthal, pour ses travaux novateurs concernant l?analyse
probabiliste de la convergence des m?thodes de Monte-Carlo par cha?nes
de Markov, les algorithmes informatiques randomis?s et diverses
applications interdisciplinaires de la statistique. Pour son excellence

Message-ID: <51AFED93.3070304@math.mcmaster.ca>
Dear friends and colleagues,
A while ago the NSERC has asked our community for suggestions for people
to be appointed to the Long Range Plan (LRP) Implementation Committee,
in its inaugural form. The procedure is to forward your suggestions to
NSERC (to Isabelle Blain I guess). As chair of the MNLC I am starting my
efforts to help this process with this e-mail to encourage all of us,
and we should ask all of our colleagues, to think of good suggestions of
people for this important implementation committee. It will have a
significant effect on the future of our research, our research funding,
and our partnerships with other academic and scientific disciplines as
well as with industry. It will furthermore serve as an avenue of
communication between our community and the NSERC. Best of luck with
your thoughts on this.
Best regards, Walter

Movement, Music, and Mathematics of Falling Paper and Insect Flight
Jane Wang (Cornell University)
Friday, June 21, 2013 at 3:30 p.m.
The Fields Institute, 222 College Street, Toronto
In this public lecture, Jane Wang will explore the connection between two
themes:
1. Understanding nature's solutions to the Navier-Stokes (fluid dynamics)
equations for locomotion
2. Understanding our own response to the poetic movement of falling and
flying objects.
The talk with start with a music dialogue between the rhythm of falling
paper and the sounds of a prepared piano. Jane will then discuss puzzles and
mathematics about the dynamics of falling paper and the tricks used by
insects to fly. The music piece will be performed together with pianist
Annie Lewandowski. Both the talk and the performance will be improvised in
response to the atrium space in the Fields Institute.
A joint initiative with the Canadian Mathematical Society, presented as part
of the Mathematics of Planet Earth Cross-Canada Series of Lectures.

CRM-Fields-PIMS Prize Lecture: Bruce Reed
Bruce Reed, McGill University and the National Institute of Informatics, Japan, will deliver a talk entitled, "Some 21st Century Results in Graph Theory." The lecture will take place on July 18, 2013 at the Simon Fraser University.
Abstract:
A graph is a set of vertices and a set of edges, each of which links a pair of vertices. Thus, graphs may abstractly represent the highways (edges) linking a set of cities (vertices), the bridges linking the islands of an archipelago, or the flights linking airports. However, the use of graphs as models extends far beyond transport networks. The edges can represent bonds between molecules, hyperlinks between webpages, or acquaintanceship in a social network. Indeed, the connections in any network, whether physical or conceptual, can be modeled in this way.
Hilbert in his famous 1900 talk, The Problems of Mathematics, noted: "History teaches the continuity of the development of science. We know that every age has its own problems, which the following age either solves or casts aside as profitless and replaces by new ones."
This is as true in graph theory as in any other area of mathematics. The development of graph theory has been profoundly marked by the advent of the information age. This has led to explosive growth in the size of the networks that can be studied and to the development of techniques that allow us to study huge networks. The talk will briefly survey the changes that have occurred and then focus on a number of quite diverse techniques for handling huge networks, all of which allow us to deduce global properties of a network via an analysis of its local structure. Examples will include the application of the probabilistic method to graph colouring and of structural decomposition to the theory of graph minors. The talk is aimed at a general audience and no knowledge of graph theory is assumed.
Bio:
Bruce Reed received his degrees in Mathematics and in Computer Science at McGill University. Following postdoctoral fellowships and faculty positions in Europe, Canada and the USA, he joined the faculty of McGill University in 2001: he currently holds the Canada Research Chair in Graph Theory and was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada in 2009. He has played a leading role in a broad range of research areas in discrete mathematics and theoretical computer science. He is best known for his work on areas within graph theory, with many of his most important contributions being in random structures, graph minors, and graph colouring.

*Title*
Harnessing Math to Understand Tipping Points
*Abstract*
The term "tipping point" describes the moment when a system suddenly
changes state, with no obvious trigger other than a slowly changing
environment. Tipping points are difficult to predict and difficult to
reverse. Examples range from capsizing boats to fishery collapse; they
include financial market crashes, the poverty trap, melting polar ice
caps, shifts in ecosystems, and mood changes. A mathematical framework
for understanding how tipping points can arise as bifurcations has long
been in place. Pressing sustainability questions are now placing the
study of tipping points in the context of policy decision support, and
driving efforts to explore the interaction between tipping and
stochasticity in noisy systems. Can we extract, from measurements,
indicators of resilience to tipping and early warning signals for
proximity to a tipping point? We will introduce the bifurcation
framework and discuss these questions in the context of applications to
climate and biology.

----------------------------------------------------
Mathematics and the Planet Earth: a Long Life Together
Ivar Ekeland, Universit? Paris-Dauphine, will deliver a two-part lecture entitled, " Mathematics and the Planet Earth: a Long Life Together." The lecture will take place on July 15 and 17, 2013 at The University of British Columbia.
Abstract:
When Columbus left Spain in 1492, sailing west, he knew that the Earth was round and was expecting to land in Japan. Seventeen centuries earlier, around 200 BC, Eratosthenes had shown that its circumference was 40,000 km, just by a smart use of mathematics, without leaving his home town of
Alexandria. Since then, we have learned much more about Earth: it is a planet, it has an inner structure, it carries life, and at every step mathematics have been a crucial tool of discovery and understanding.
Nowadays, concerns about the human footprint and climate change force us to bring all this knowledge to bear on the global problems facing us. This is the last challenge for mathematics: can we control change?
This two-part lecture investigates how our idea of the world has influenced the development of mathematics. In the first lecture on July 15, I will describe the situation up to the twentieth century, in the second one on July 17 I will follow up to the present time and the global challenges humanity and the planet are facing today.
Bio:
Ivar Ekeland was director of PIMS for the period 2003-2008. He is a former President of Universit? Paris-Dauphine, and held the Canada Research Chair in Mathematical Economics at the University of British Columbia until his retirement in 2011. He is the founding editor of the "Annales de l'Institut Henri Poincar?-Analyse non lin?aire" and is currently Editor in Chief of "Mathematics and Financial Economics." He has also written numerous books and papers in mathematics, economics and finance, and is also a regular contributor to the journal "Nature" as well as to the magazine "Pour la Science." He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada.
Ekeland's contributions to Mathematics include fundamental results in Convex and Non-linear Analysis, Control Theory, Hamiltonian Mechanics, Symplectic Geometry, Mathematical Economics and Finance.

*Math Team Canada 2013 Wins Olympiad Gold, Silver and Bronze*
Canadian high school team turns in world class performance
OTTAWA, Ontario ? Six Canadian high school students are celebrating
their 11th place success upon their return from the 54th International
Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) in Santa Marta, Colombia. Each student
earned a medal for Canada after competing against over 550 students at
the world?s most challenging high school level mathematics competition.
Math Team Canada members received their medals at the IMO closing
ceremony held on Saturday, July 27. Calvin Deng and Zhuo Qun (Alex) Song
were both awarded gold medals, John (Zhiyao) Ma and Daniel Spivak were
awarded silver medals and Alexander Whatley and Kevin Sun were awarded
bronze medals.
As a result of the medals awarded to the team, Math Team Canada was
ranked 11th in the world out of 97 participating countries.
Additionally, Calvin Deng?s gold medal earned him a world ranking of 8th
place and Zhuo Qun (Alex) Song?s medal earned him a 10th place world
ranking.
?Canada has been participating at the IMO since 1981 and has
consistently performed well on the international stage,? said Keith
Taylor, President of the Canadian Mathematical Society. ?The team?s 11th
place ranking is an outstanding accomplishment for which the students
and the Canadian mathematical community at large should be extremely proud.?
?These young people have indeed risen to the challenge, showing
astounding mathematical skill and all winning medals,? said Robert
Morewood, Deputy Leader of Math Team Canada 2013 and Chair of the CMS
IMO Committee. ?They have also represented Canada well to all the other
youngsters here from around the world, making many connections, some of
which may lead to life-long international friendships.?

Subject: [cmath] Fighting the liquidation of the Russian Academy of Science
Message-ID:
Dear colleagues,
you are invited to sign a letter against this liquidation. The url is at the end of this message which gives some bacground.
LIQUIDATION OF RAN (Russian Academy of Sciences)
1. Background on the Crisis
A motion is proceeding through the Duma (the Russian Parliament) that, if passed, will fundamentally alter the functioning of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAN). Below are some quotations from the project of the law that show that the Russian government plans to liquidate the current Russian academy of sciences and create a new ?Russian academy of sciences?.
Article 19 is entitled ? Stopping the functioning of Russian academy of sciences >?. It proposes that the Russian Government > form a committee for the liquidation of RAN (quoted from Article 19). The RF
(Russian Federation) Government will analyze the activity of the institutions now subordinate to RAN. Some of them will become subordinate to federal institutions, some will be liquidated (from Article 19.7, shortened). After the registration of ?Russian academy of sciences?, the liquidation of RAN will proceed (Commentary to the law).
2. NEXT STEP OF THE LIQUIDATION
The state Duma approved the law in the first two readings (July 2013), and then made a break for vacation. At the end of August, it will discuss the law for the third time. If it is approved in the third reading, the law will be accepted, and the liquidation of RAN will start.
3. What Can Be Done?
Letters from the world scientific community that advocate preserving the existing RAN may prevent the approval of the ?liquidation law?, provided that the letters are signed by influential members of the community, and that the total number of signatures is large.
A reference to a circulating letter of this kind is at http://save-russian-academy.org/
In order to sign the letter, you may click the reference above. The letter will appear. Below it there is a button ?sign?. Clicking this button, you will see a brief form, asking about your name, position, etc. Filling this form, you click a button ?sign? below, and the letter is signed.

*Professor Luc Vinet Appointed Director of the CRM*
Montreal, August 29, 2013 - Dr. Genevi?ve Tanguay, Vice-Rector (research, creation and innovation) at the Universit? de Montr?al, and Chair of the Board of Directors of the Centre de recherches math?matiques (CRM), announced the appointment of Professor Luc Vinet as Director of the CRM. This nomination took effect on July 20, 2013. Dr. Vinet succeeds Professor Fran?ois Lalonde who headed the CRM from 2004 to 2008 and from 2011 to 2013.
A distinguished mathematical physicist, Luc Vinet has dedicated a significant part of his career to the organization, and development of research.
Luc Vinet obtained a first doctorate in theoretical physics at the Universit? Pierre-et-Marie-Curie in 1979 and a second one at the Universit? de Montr?al in 1980. He was subsequently a postdoctoral fellow at the Massachussetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and he returned to Montreal in 1982 as University Research Fellow of the Natural Science and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC). In 1992, he was appointed full professor at the Universit? de Montr?al.
His scientific work focuses generally on the exact solution of physical models through the study of symmetries and their description in terms of algebraic structures. He has achieved major advances in gauge theory, algebraic combinatorics, supersymmetry, superintegrability, special function theory and quantum transport.
Luc Vinet has already been Director of the Centre de recherches math?matiques from 1993 to 1999. Under his leadership, the CRM funding doubled. He established the R?seau qu?b?cois de calcul de haute performance (RQCHP), as well as the Network for Computing and Mathematical Modeling (ncm2) and the Laboratoire universitaire Bell (LUB). He was one of the founding directors of the national network of centres of excellence MITACS.
In 1999, he became Vice-Principal (Academic) and Provost at McGill University. He returned to the Universit? de Montr?al in 2005 as its Rector until 2010. Luc Vinet has received numerous distinctions. In particular, he was awarded the prestigious Prix Armand-Frappier by the Quebec government in 2009. He was also the recipient in 2012 of the CAP-CRM Prize for his research in theoretical and mathematical physics. He is presently Aisenstadt Professor of Physics at the Universit? de Montr?al.
As Director of the CRM, Luc Vinet will be responsible for all the operations of the institute and in particular, for its scientific programming.
The Centre de recherches math?matiques is a world-renowned institute in the mathematical sciences. Created in 1968 at the Universit? de Montr?al, the CRM brings together all the stakeholders in mathematical research at Qu?bec universities as well as at some other Canadian universities. The CRM organizes events attended by researchers and students from all horizons. The CRM covers the entire range of mathematical sciences: pure, applied, industrial or interdisciplinary. The CRM is also the instigator of the international year ?Mathematics of Planet Earth 2013? that has received the patronage of UNESCO.
We are pleased to welcome Professor Vinet as Director of the CRM. We wish him the greatest success in his functions.
We also wish to take this opportunity to warmly thank outgoing Director Fran?ois Lalonde, who has succeeded remarkably in furthering the CRM?s development.

Message-ID:
PIMS / CNRS Call for Applications 2014 - 2015
The Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences (PIMS) and the Centre
National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) are calling for applications from
French researchers to spend the academic year 2014-15 at one of PIMS member
universities and to participate in PIMS research activities. The applicants
should be "fonctionnaires titulaires" either at the CNRS or at a French
university, and priority will be given to junior researchers ("charg(e)es de
recherches" or "maitres de conferences").
Applications should be sent to Sinnou David, Directeur adjoint scientifique,
INSMI (CNRS), and to Alejandro Adem, Director of PIMS, by December 1, 2013.
They should include a CV and a list of publications, together with a
description of the research project to be done during the academic year, and
the names of the PIMS researchers which would be involved in the project.
Results will be announced by the spring of 2014. In the case of university
faculty, once the application has been accepted, the actual appointment is
subject to the person receiving a "detachement au CNRS" from his/her home
institution.
Successful applicants will be sent for one year by the CNRS to the PIMS
university where the research is to be carried out, on the understanding that
they will be given adequate working conditions, and be treated like local
faculty (except for teaching). We encourage researchers at PIMS universities to
contact their French counterparts and encourage them to apply. The extent of
local support will be a crucial factor in judging the applications.

RESUME / ABSTRACT:
During his upcoming Public Lecture, evolutionary biologist Martin Nowak, author of the best-selling book SuperCooperators, will share his cutting-edge research on the mysteries of cooperation. According to Nowak, many problems that challenge us today can be traced back to a tension between what is good and desirable for society as a whole and what is good and desirable for an individual. This conflict is illustrated in global problems such as climate change, pollution, hunger, and overpopulation. Nowak argues that cooperation?not competition?is the key to the evolution of complexity.
BIOGRAPHIE / BIOGRAPHY:
Martin A. Nowak is Professor of Biology and Mathematics at Harvard University and Director of the Program for Evolutionary Dynamics. He works on the mathematical description of evolutionary processes, including the evolution of cooperation and human language, as well as the dynamics of virus infections and human cancer. His major scientific contributions and discoveries include: the mechanism of HIV disease progression; the rapid turnover and evolution of drug resistance in HIV infection; quantifying the dynamics of HBV infection; the evolution of virulence under superinfection and coinfection; the role of chromosomal instability in human cancer; quantifying the dynamics of chronic myeloid leukemia; the accumulation of drivers and passengers in cancer progression; the evolution of drug resistance in targeted cancer therapy; the mechanisms for the evolution of genetic redundancy; "generous tit-for-tat" and "win-stay, lose-shift"; the alternating Prisoner's Dilemma; the evolution of cooperation by indirect reciprocity; spatial game dynamics; adaptive dynamics; evolutionary game dynamics in finite populations; evolutionary graph theory; the five mechanisms for the evolution of cooperation; the evolution of eusociality by natural selection; a mathematical approach for studying the evolution of human language; the dynamics of language regularization; culturomics; "winners don't punish"; prelife; and the origin of evolution. a Clay Senior Scholar for the Thematic Semester in Biodiversity and Evolution.

Subject: [cmath] "Adaptivity in the Numerical Solution of PDEs" Short Course
+ Collaborative Workshop, Aug 17-22, 2014
Message-ID: <2B752BDD-A231-431F-BDF0-95D7BA53A7DD@gmail.com>
First Call for Participation in:
"Adaptivity in the Numerical Solution of PDEs" Short Course + Collaborative Workshop, organized by the Atlantic Association for Research in the Mathematical Sciences (AARMS) Collaborative Research Group in Numerical Analysis and Scientific Computing, Aug. 17, 2013 - Aug. 22, 2014, Memorial University of Newfoundland, St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada.
The aim of this workshop is to provide an introduction to the state of the art in theory and practical applications of adaptivity in PDEs. The program will begin with a two-day short course, "Adaptive Methods for the Numerical Solution of PDEs", given by Dr. Weizhang Huang (University of Kansas). The middle component of the program will focus on presentations by researchers whose work may benefit from the use of adaptive techniques for PDEs arising as mathematical models in practical applications. The final segment of the program will feature a workshop format in which breakout teams, consisting of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows led by experts on theoretical or computational aspects of adaptive methods for PDEs, will investigate the process of introducing adaptive techniques into the numerical simulations that arise in the applications identified earlier. The segment will also include several talks by researchers working in adaptivity for PDEs.
The organizers invite participation by researchers in adaptivity for PDEs, researchers working in applied PDEs whose work may benefit from the use of adaptive methods for PDEs, and associated graduate students and post docs. The program will have room for 5 - 8 talks by researchers in application domains. For researchers in adaptive methods for PDEs, the primary form of participation will be through the collaborative workshop teams but there will also be room for a limited number of talks.
Registration will be required. Some funding for graduate students will be available. Further details will be available at http://www.math.mun.ca/anasc/

"Evolution of eusociality"
Eusociality is an advanced form of social organization, where some individuals reduce their reproductive potential to raise the offspring of others. Eusociality is rare but hugely successful: only about 2% of insect species are eusocial, but they represent 50% of insect biomass. I will present a theory for the origin of eusociality. In the solitary life style all offspring leave to reproduce. In the eusocial life style some offspring stay and help raise further offspring. A standard natural selection analysis determines which of those two reproductive strategies wins for a given ecology. The model makes simple and testable predictions. I will also discuss the limitations of inclusive fitness theory showing that it is a particular accounting method that can be used in special cases, but not in general. Inclusive fitness is to a large extent a conceptual mistake that arises from the unsuccessful attempt to find a universal maximization principle in evolution.

I will give an overview of simple stochastic models of evolutionary dynamics. The topics of my talk include: constant selection on graphs; suppressors and amplifiers of selection; the isothermal theorem; games in finite populations, on graphs, in phenotype space and on sets; the 1/3 rule for games in well mixed populations and on graphs; the replicator equation on graphs; Antal?s formula for n-strategy games in well-mixed populations; Tarnita?s sigma theorem for structured populations and its extension to n-strategy games.

In-Reply-To: <52828BD5.8010906@cs.dal.ca>
References: <52828BD5.8010906@cs.dal.ca>
Message-ID: <5283B088.8020004@cms.math.ca>
This is an announcement that the annual AARMS Postdoctoral Fellowship Award Program is now open for applications. Details can be found below or on our website: http://www.aarms.math.ca/pdf
Eligibility and place of tenure
AARMS postdoctoral fellowships are awarded, on the recommendation of its Scientific Review Panel (SRP), to beginning researchers who received their PhD no more than four years before applying. Applications will be considered from those who anticipate receiving their PhD before the proposed start time of the fellowship, however the PhD must be in hand before actually beginning the fellowship. AARMS will provide $17,500 per year for the fellowship and the supervisor is responsible for organizing matching funds of at least this amount
It is typically expected that the proposed supervisor will not be the same person as the applicant's PhD supervisor, and that the proposed Postdoctoral Fellowship will be at a different university than the one at which the PhD was awarded. The proposed supervisor must be a full-time tenure track or tenured faculty member at a university in Atlantic Canada.
Duration
Normally two years. Funding for the second year is dependent upon satisfactory performance demonstrated in the detailed progress report submitted by the supervisor(s).
Application
Applicants are required to establish a relationship with a prospective supervisor before applying to AARMS, and to have a tentative agreement from that supervisor to make a joint application to this program. This program is not a service for matching applicants with supervisors.
Applications should be made by the candidate through the PDF Application page found through the Online Services link in our menu.The application should include:
* CV (in pdf format)
* Research Proposal: a detailed description of the research area and the research to be carried out during the tenure of the fellowship as well as a description of how the candidate would interact with the supervisor(s). (also in pdf format)
* Name(s) and email address(es) of proposed supervisor(s)
* Names and email addresses of two referees
After their name(s) and email addresse(s) have been entered by the applicant, the proposed supervisor(s) will receive an automated message from the system, giving them access to the application, and requesting the submission of the following materials:
* A written reference.
* A list of the exact sources of matching funding (NSERC or other grant(s), department(s), ...); to be typed directly into the web form provided. If there are more than one intended supervisors only one needs to submit this financial information.
The proposed referees will also receive an automated message from the system, giving them access to the application, and requesting the submission of a written reference. Referees should be persons who are familiar with the candidate's work and can comment on their suitability for an AARMS postdoctoral fellowship.
Assessment
Applications will be reviewed by the Scientific Review Panel, who will make a recommendation to the Director.
Timetable
* *December 13* - Application deadline.
* *December 20* - Deadline for supervisor contribution.
* *February 1* - Deadline for the assessment phase. Initial offers on Postdoctoral fellowships are made within the next few weeks. The department/university offered an award is requested to provide to AARMS a signed "funding package", showing the annual contributions by the supervisor(s), the department, and the university. Their amount has at least to match the AARMS contribution of $17,500 and may require that the fellowship holder teach up to one class each term (including spring/summer sessions). If an offer is declined AARMS reserves the right to either offer or to refrain from offering a fellowship to the next candidate in the ranking. If a successful candidate has also been offered an NSERC postdoctoral fellowship it is permitted to accept the AARMS award as well. In this case AARMS will contribute $7,500 per year on top of the NSERC award. No matching fees will be required from the supervisor(s).
* *June 30* - Deadline for reports from supervisors of renewing PDFs. The supervisor must submit a detailed progress report, outlining the research work and listing publications, talks, etc. Electronic copies of all publications must be submitted to AARMS for archival purposes. The PDF is also expected to acknowledge the support of AARMS in their publications.
* *August 31* - Latest possible termination date for the second year of a PDF.
* *September 1* - Start time for the fellowship. AARMS will transfer $8,750 (first half of the annual amount) during the month when the PDF starts his programme, and the same amount six months later. This is done upon receipt of a formal invoice from the hosting department/university. It is acceptable for the start of a fellowship to be delayed up until December 1, but funding will be reduced proportionate to the delay. This reduction will be reconciled in the second year of funding.

From: Martin Groetschel, IMU Secretary
Call for Nominations:
The Ramanujan Prize for Young Mathematicians from Developing Countries
The Ramanujan Prize for young mathematicians from developing countries has been
awarded annually since 2005. It was originally instituted by ICTP, the Niels Henrik Abel
Memorial Fund, and the International Mathematical Union (IMU). The participation of the
Abel Fund ended in 2012; the 2013 Prize was jointly funded and administered by ICTP
and the IMU. This will continue to be the case in 2014, though alternate sources of
funding are being explored.
The Ramanujan Prize is usually awarded to one person, but may be shared equally
among recipients who have contributed to the same body of work. The Prize is awarded
annually to a researcher from a developing country who is less than 45 years of age on
31 December of the year of the award, and who has conducted outstanding research in
a developing country. For the details of the nomination please see the attached call.
February 1, 2014 is the deadline for nominations.
Nominations are to be sent to math@ictp.it.

Subject: [cmath] Announcement and citation for the CRM-Fields-PIMS Prize
2014: Prof. Niky Kamran
Message-ID:
Niky Kamran (McGill University)
CRM - Fields - PIMS Prize 2014
December 3, 2013
The Canadian Mathematical Sciences Institutes are pleased to announce that
the winner of the CRM - Fields - PIMS Prize for 2014 is Prof Niky Kamran of
McGill University. He has spent his career in Canada, working in the areas
of analysis and differential geometry. His interests are far reaching, with
the two main directions of his research being in the theory of exterior
differential systems and Lie theory, a central area of the geometric
analysis of systems of partial differential equations, and the mathematical
analysis of general relativity.
Prof. Kamran's work on the topic of exterior differential systems has its
roots in the foundational insight of E. Cartan, which describes local
geometrical objects in terms of systems of differential forms which are
invariant under diffeomorphisms and other infinite dimensional Lie
(pseudo)group actions. Prof. Kamran's principal contributions have been in
the theory of existence of solutions and the classification of infinite
dimensional symmetries. His publications on isotropy subgroups of transitive
analytic Lie pseudogroups of infinite type are definitive, and involve
global elements, such as the cohomology of certain differential complexes,
and local, which for example include Malgrange's estimates arising from his
proof of the Cartan-Kahler theorem.
Prof. Kamran's contributions to the mathematical analysis of the Einstein
equations of general relativity are extremely influential as well, in an
area that is currently running as a `hot topic'. His work, in a series of
important papers with co-authors F. Finster, J. Smoller and S.-T. Yau,
addresses the basic question of stability of Lorentzian space-times,
something that is fundamental to our understanding of present day cosmology.
The key in such questions about nonlinear systems of evolution equations is
to understand on a deep level the solution operator for the linearized
equations; Prof. Kamran and collaborators have given a systematic treatment
of the `black-hole' space-times, namely of the Schwarzschild and Kerr
solutions to Einstein's equations. His most recent work addresses the
anti-deSitter solutions as the central object of interest in the approach to
quantum gravity known as the Anti-deSitter - Conformal Field Theory
correspondence.
Prof. Kamran has published over 125 scientific articles. In addition he is a
superb expositor, and has contributed influential survey articles and
monographs. His work is remarkable for its brilliant, original insights, in
combination with a deep mathematical culture, representing a wide and varied
range of topics of interest. Niky's contributions will have a lasting
scientific impact on Canadian mathematics and on the global mathematical
community.

Niky Kamran (Universite McGill)
Prix CRM - Fields - PIMS 2014
3 Decembre 2013
Les instituts en sciences mathematiques du Canada sont heureux d'annoncer
que le Professeur Niky Kamran est le recipiendaire du Prix CRM - Fields -
PIMS. L'essentiel de la carriere de Niky Kamran s'est deroule au Canada et
il travaille dans les domaines de l'analyse et de la geometrie
differentielle. Ses champs d'interet ont une tres grande portee. Les deux
principaux axes de sa recherche sont d'une part les systemes differentiels
exterieurs et la theorie de Lie, sujet central de l'analyse geometrique des
systemes d'equations aux derivees partielles, et d'autre part l'analyse
mathematique de la relativite generale.
Les travaux de Niky Kamran sur les systemes differentiels exterieurs ont
leurs fondements dans ceux d'Elie Cartan ou des objets geometriques locaux
sont decrits en termes de formes differentielles qui sont invariantes sous
les diffeomorphismes et sous l'action d'autres (pseudo) groupes de Lie de
dimension infinie. Les principales contributions de Niky Kamran portent sur
l'existence de solutions et la classification des symetries de dimension
infinie. Ses publications sur les sous-groupes d'isotropie de pseudogroupes
de Lie analytiques et transitifs font autorite et concernent des aspects
globaux tels la cohomologie de complexes differentiels et des aspects locaux
incluant par exemple les estimes de Malgrange qui decoulent de sa preuve du
theoreme de Cartan et Kahler.
Les contributions de Niky Kamran a l'analyse mathematique des equations
d'Einstein de la relativite generale ont egalement beaucoup d'influence dans
un domaine en pleine effervescence. Dans une serie d'articles importants
ecrits en collaboration avec F. Finster, J. Smoller et S.-T. Yau, Niky
Kamran etudie la stabilite des espaces - temps Lorentziens, un sujet qui est
essentiel a l'elaboration de la cosmologie contemporaine. Le point crucial,
dans ces examens de systemes d'equations d'evolution non-lineaires, est de
bien caracteriser au niveau le plus fondamental l'operateur resolvant pour
les equations linearisees. Niky Kamran et ses collaborateurs ont realise une
etude systematique des espaces - temps a trous noirs, c'est-a-dire des
solutions de Schwarzschild et Kerr pour les equations d'Einstein. Ses
travaux les plus recents portent sur les espaces de type anti - deSitter,
qui sont au cour de l'approche de la gravitation quantique connue sous le
nom de correspondance AdS - CFT.
Niky Kamran a publie plus de 125 articles scientifiques. Il est de surcroit
un communicateur hors pair et a ecrit des articles de survol et des
monographies qui ont eu beaucoup d'impact. Ses travaux se distinguent par
leur profondeur et leur originalite et couvrent un large spectre de sujets
majeurs; ils demontrent que leur auteur possede une vaste et profonde
culture mathematique . Les apports de Niky Kamran laisseront leur marque sur
les mathematiques canadiennes et mondiales.
