From gpwright at cms.math.ca Mon Jan 5 08:55:54 2004 From: gpwright at cms.math.ca (Graham Wright) Date: Thu Mar 23 05:02:41 2006 Subject: Call for Nomination 2004 CMS Doctoral Prize Message-ID: Dear colleagues, You will recently have received the call for nominations for the 2004 CMS Doctoral Prize, with its deadline of January 31, 2004. We append a copy of the call for nominations for your convenience. You may also wish to check the web page http://www.cms.math.ca/Prizes/info/dp.html for further details and a list of past recipients. The number of nominations in recent years has not reflected the strength and number of new PhDs in mathematics in Canada. This is in contrast to awards to faculty (Jeffery-Williams, Coxeter-James, Krieger-Nelson), where ongoing faculty renewal and initiatives such as the CRC program have led to an impressive pool of nominations of outstanding researchers. We are confident that your department is rightly proud of its PhD program and of the students that are successful in it. We suggest that any PhD-granting mathematics department in Canada should make it a habit to nominate annually its strongest, most original, or most accomplished new PhD for this award. As the nominee will have to participate in the nomination by providing a CV and a resume of the thesis, the simple fact that you have nominated her or him will be a significant recognition on your part of the student's accomplishments. Receiving the prize will not only recognize the excellence of the candidate and boost his or her career, it will also provide a useful recruiting tool for your program and a source of pride for your institution. Please forward this message, as appropriate, to your Graduate Chair or Graduate Committee for further consideration and active involvement. Ragnar-Olaf Buchweitz Chair, CMS Research Committee Finnur Larusson Chair, CMS Doctoral Prize Selection Committee *********************************************** Subject: Call for Nomination 2004 CMS Doctoral Prize The CMS Doctoral Prize recognizes outstanding performance by a doctoral student. The prize is awarded to the person who received a Ph.D. from a Canadian university in the preceding year (January 1st to December 31st) and whose overall performance in graduate school is judged to be the most outstanding. Although the dissertation will be the most important criterion (the impact of the results, the creativity of the work, the quality of exposition, etc.) it will not be the only one. Other publications, activities in support of students and other accomplishments will also be considered. Nominations that were not successful in the first competition, will be kept active for a further year (with no possibility of updating the file) and will be considered by the Doctoral Prize Selection Committee in the following year's competition. The CMS Doctoral Prize will consist of an award of $500, a two-year complimentary membership in the CMS, a framed Doctoral Prize certificate and a stipend for travel expenses to attend the CMS meeting to receive the award and present a plenary lecture. Nominations Candidates must be nominated by their university and the nominator is responsible for preparing the documentation described below, and submitting the nomination to the address below. No university may nominate more than one candidate and the deadline for the receipt of nominations is January 31, 2004. The documentation shall consist of: o A curriculum vitae prepared by the student. o A resum? of the student's work written by the student and which must not exceed ten pages. The resum? should include a brief description of the thesis and why it is important, as well as of any other contributions made by the student while a doctoral student. o Three letters of recommendation of which one should be from the thesis advisor and one from an external reviewer. A copy of the external examiner's report may be substituted for the latter. More than three letters of recommendation are not accepted.

The award will be presented at the Society's 2004 Summer Meeting in Halifax (June 13-15). Thomson Nelson, a leading Canadian publisher, and Thomson Brooks/Cole, a Thomson Higher Education brand and premier provider of educational materials for mathematics and science - both part of The Thomson Corporation - have partnered with the CMS to create the Excellence in Teaching Award for post-secondary undergraduate teaching in mathematics. The award recognizes sustained and distinguished contributions in teaching at the post-secondary undergraduate level at a Canadian institution. "Excellence in research and development starts with excellence in education. The CMS Excellence in Teaching Award focuses on the recipient's merit as a teacher and his or her impact on generations of students, scientists and future teachers," said Christiane Rousseau, CMS President. "It is an honor for us to partner with the Canadian Mathematical Society in sponsoring this prestigious award," said George Bergquist, president of Thomson Nelson. "The award is an excellent vehicle for recognizing the critical role teachers play in bringing to life the learning resources publishers create, using them to meaningfully touch the lives of their students." Leo Jonker's performance in teaching is exceptional and his teaching of engineers and of elementary school teachers is particularly remarkable. One of his great successes is the Introductory Engineering calculus course. Using a combination of strategies (well-trained tutors, carefully planned tutorials, superb lectures, and interactive course notes specially developed for the course), Jonker succeeded in raising the students' enthusiasm for mathematics. Particularly successful was his switch to undergraduate students as tutors in this large course. For this work, Leo Jonker has been awarded the Applied Science First Year Teaching and learning Award four times since 1998. A second great success is Leo Jonker's work with elementary school students and prospective elementary school teachers. More than 20 years ago he started working with students in a local area elementary school. Over the years he has built up a series of enrichment tasks which have since appeared in two volumes. These books, aimed at grade 7 and 8 students, are intended to open the students' eyes to the beauty and power of mathematical ideas. More recently, Leo Jonker decided to combine his enrichment work with his concern for mathematics anxiety among elementary school teachers to establish a new course, Fundamental Concepts in Elementary Mathematics for Teachers. The audience of this course, consisting almost entirely of students with little or no university mathematics, very quickly grew to over 50 students. At the same time, his contacts in the elementary schools enabled him to find placements in which these students conduct enrichment classes, in pairs. Former students all say that the course has transformed their vision of mathematics. "He essentially changed us from a bunch of non-math minded students who lacked confidence in our abilities to teach it effectively, to a group of people who were excited and eager to go into our schools every week and teach math to our students" said Ryanne Flattery, one of his enthusiastic students. Leo Jonker summarizes his teaching objectives as follows: "Love of the subject, love of its beauty and its power, should be the primary motivation for all mathematics education and the basis of all communication between teacher and student. The beauty of the subject can be equally evident at all levels of the education system." One of his first year engineers wrote of his classroom experience: "It is like painting an entire picture for us rather than just drawing one object in the middle of the canvas. It helps us understand the concepts behind the method we are using and the very nature of the problem itself. I walk out of his lectures thinking to myself - Wow! I understand this!" Leo Jonker completed his undergraduate and graduate studies at the University of Toronto, where he obtained his Ph.D. in 1967. Following a postdoctoral position at the University of California, he has been at Queen's University since 1969. He was Head of the Department from 1990 to 1995. His field of research is dynamical systems and he has combined an active research career, including the supervision of several graduate students, with his commitment to education. He is regularly invited to give talks on pedagogy. Leo Jonker has received a number of Teaching Awards at Queen's University, including the 1997 W.J. Barnes Teaching Excellence Award, the 1999 Alumni Teaching Award, and the Engineering Society's Golden Apple in 2000. In 2000, he was a recipient of the Ontario Confederation of University Faculty Associations' Award for Excellence in Teaching.

Queen's, est le premier laur?at du Prix d'excellence en enseignement de la Soci?t? math?matique du Canada (SMC). Il recevra son prix ? la R?union d'?t? de la SMC qui se tiendra ? Halifax du 13 au 15 juin. Deux entreprises du groupe Thomson, soit Thomson Nelson, importante maison d'?dition canadienne, et Thomson Brooks/Cole, division de l'enseignement sup?rieur et premier fournisseur de mat?riel p?dagogiques en math?matiques et en sciences, se sont associ?es ? la Soci?t? math?matique du Canada (SMC) pour cr?er le Prix d'excellence en enseignement de la SMC pour l'enseignement coll?gial et de premier cycle universitaire en math?matiques. Ce prix r?compense des contributions exceptionnelles et soutenues en enseignement au coll?gial et au premier cycle universitaire dans un ?tablissement canadien. " L'excellence en recherche et d?veloppement passe par l'excellence en ?ducation. Le Prix d'excellence en enseignement de la SMC r?compensera le travail du laur?at en tant qu'enseignant, ainsi que son influence sur des g?n?rations d'?tudiants, de chercheurs et de futurs enseignants ", explique Christiane Rousseau, pr?sidente de la SMC. " C'est pour nous un honneur de commanditer ce prestigieux prix en partenariat avec la Soci?t? math?matique du Canada, dit George Bergquist, pr?sident de Thomson Nelson. Ce prix est un excellent moyen de reconna?tre le r?le important des enseignants qui donnent vie au mat?riel p?dagogique con?u par les ?diteurs et savent l'exploiter de mani?re ? toucher profond?ment leurs ?l?ves. " La feuille de route de Leo Jonker en enseignement est exceptionnelle, et son r?le dans la formation des ing?nieurs et des enseignants du primaire, particuli?rement remarquable. L'une des grandes r?ussites de Leo est sans aucun doute son cours d'introduction au calcul diff?rentiel et int?gral pour ing?nieurs. ? l'aide de strat?gies diversifi?es (tuteurs comp?tents, s?ances de tutorat pr?par?es avec soin, cours magistraux fascinants et notes de cours interactives r?dig?es pour ce cours en particulier), il soul?ve l'enthousiasme des ?tudiants pour les math?matiques. Son id?e de prendre comme tuteurs pour ce cours populeux des ?tudiants de math?matiques de premier cycle a particuli?rement bien r?ussi. Pour son travail entourant ce cours, Leo Jonker a re?u le Applied Science First Year Teaching and learning Award quatre fois depuis 1998. Son travail aupr?s d'?l?ves du primaire et de futurs enseignants est ?galement digne de mention. Il y a plus de 20 ans, Leo a commenc? ? travailler avec les ?l?ves d'une ?cole primaire de son voisinage. Au fil des ans, il a con?u une s?rie d'exercices d'enrichissement, publi?s depuis dans deux ouvrages. Destin?s aux enfants de 7e et de 8e ann?e, ces ouvrages ont pour objectif de faire d?couvrir aux ?l?ves la beaut? et la puissance des concepts math?matiques. Plus r?cemment, pr?occup? par les difficult?s qu'?prouvaient les enseignants du primaire, il a con?u un nouveau cours intitul? Concepts fondamentaux de math?matiques ?l?mentaires pour enseignants. Ce cours a t?t fait d'attirer plus d'une cinquantaine d'?tudiants, la plupart n'ayant jamais ?tudi? les math?matiques ? l'universit? ou les ayant tr?s peu ?tudi?es. Gr?ce ? ses contacts dans les ?coles primaires, il pouvait aussi trouver des stages o? ses ?tudiants pourraient donner des cours d'enrichissement, deux par deux. Les personnes qui ont suivi ce cours affirment toutes qu'il a compl?tement transform? leur perception des math?matiques. Ryanne Flattery l'exprime ainsi : " Essentiellement, il a fait de nous, qui n'?tions pas port?s sur les maths ni rassur?s quant ? notre capacit? de les enseigner efficacement, des enseignants stimul?s et impatients d'aller donner des cours de math?matiques dans nos ?coles. " Quant ? Leo, il r?sume ainsi ses objectifs d'enseignement : " L'amour du sujet, de sa beaut? et de sa puissance devrait ?tre la motivation principale de tout enseignement des math?matiques, et la base de la communication ma?tre-?l?ve. La beaut? du sujet peut ?tre tout aussi ?vidente ? tous les paliers du syst?me d'?ducation. " Un des ?tudiants de Leo en premi?re ann?e d'ing?nierie raconte ainsi ce qu'il a v?cu en classe : " Au lieu de peindre un objet au milieu d'une toile, c'est comme s'il peignait pour nous la toile au complet. Il nous aide ainsi ? comprendre les concepts qui se cachent derri?re les m?thodes et la nature intrins?que des probl?mes. En sortant de son cours, je me dis souvent "Incroyable! Je comprends tout ?a!" " Leo a fait toutes ses ?tudes ? l'Universit? de Toronto, o? il a obtenu son doctorat en 1967. Apr?s un stage postdoctoral en Californie, il est entr? ? Queen's en 1969 et y est toujours. Il a ?t? directeur de son d?partement de 1990 ? 1995. Son domaine de recherche : les syst?mes dynamiques. Il a combin? une carri?re de recherche active, y compris la direction de plusieurs ?tudiants aux cycles sup?rieurs, ? son engagement envers l'?ducation. On l'invite d'ailleurs souvent ? donner des conf?rences sur la p?dagogie. Leo a re?u un certain nombre de prix d'excellence en enseignement de l'Universit? Queen's, dont le prix W.J. Barnes en 1997, celui des Anciens en 1999, et le Engineering Society's Golden Apple en 2000. En 2000, il a ?galement re?u le prix d'excellence en enseignement de l'Union des associations des professeurs des universit?s de l'Ontario. ? propos de la Soci?t? math?matique du Canada Fond?e en 1945, la Soci?t? math?matique du Canada est le principal organisme national dont l'objectif consiste ? promouvoir et ? favoriser la d?couverte et l'apprentissage des math?matiques, et les applications qui en d?coulent.

Dr. Barbara Keyfitz has made deep and original contributions in the field of nonlinear partial differential equations, with particular emphasis on hyperbolic systems of conservation laws and evolution equations that change type. Such systems arise in models for multiphase flow in porous media, and in two-phase compressible and incompressible flow. Several times during her career, she had a pioneering role in tackling the most challenging problems in the field, and she opened up a new research direction when she developed a powerful new technique dealing with free boundary problems to further the understanding of transonic shocks. Keyfitz studied also bifurcation problems in reaction-diffusion equations, especially in the theory of shock waves. She succeeded in adapting techniques from vector field dynamics to the problem of the admissibility of shock waves, a long-lasting question in applied mathematics. With Suncica Canic and Eun Heui Kim, she is currently working on the analysis of self-similar solutions of systems of conservation laws in two space dimensions. Professor Keyfitz graduated from the University of Toronto in 1966 and obtained her Ph.D. under Peter Lax at the Courant Institute in 1970. She held positions at Columbia University, Princeton University, and Arizona State University, and is currently the John and Rebecca Moores Professor at the University of Houston. She is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and has been and continues to be a member of the editorial boards of many mathematical journals, including the SIAM Journal of Applied Mathematics. Dr. Keyfitz has been a thesis advisor, postdoctoral advisor, and collaborator for a whole generation of mathematicians and continues to play an important role in promoting mathematics and helping young mathematicians worldwide. She has remained involved in Canadian mathematics, not only as a regular participant in conferences, but also supporting Canadian research as external reviewer for departments, as a member of the Scientific Advisory Panel at the Fields Institute, the NSERC Reallocations Committee, and the college of reviewers for the Canada Research Chairs program. Dr. Barbara Keyfitz will present the 2005 Krieger-Nelson Prize Lecture at Waterloo University in June 2005. ********************************************************************** CMS 2005 Jeffery-Williams Prize: Dr. Edward Bierstone and Dr. Pierre Milman (University of Toronto) ********************************************************************** The Jeffery-Williams Prize recognizes mathematicians who have made outstanding contributions to mathematical research. Dr. Edward Bierstone and Dr. Pierre Milman are honoured jointly for their highly significant work in the study of analytic and geometric properties of singular spaces. Together, they found an amazingly short and ingenious proof of Hironaka's theorem on resolution of singularities, transforming that result from a monument to be admired to a tool to be used, bringing a new dimension of understanding and accessibility to the resolution process, at the same time extending it, and its applications, to a considerably wider range of spaces. Jointly with Wieslaw Pawlucki, they achieved as well important progress on the classical open problem posed by Whitney about differentiable extensions of functions from subsets to the ambient space. Dr.'s Bierstone and Milman have also made crucial contributions to the geometry of sub- and semi-analytic sets, exploring their relationship to differentiable functions. Their methods are expected to continue to reveal new and significant features of singular spaces. Dr. Edward Bierstone obtained his B.Sc. from the University of Toronto in 1969 and his Ph.D. from Brandeis University in 1973, under the direction of Richard S. Palais. He returned to the University of Toronto as a faculty member in 1973 and has been a Professor there since 1982. Dr. Bierstone has been a member of the Institut des Hautes Etudes Scientifiques in Bures-sur-Yvette, France, a member of the Institute of Advanced Study in Princeton, and a visiting professor in Brazil and France. In 1992, he was elected Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, in 1996 he won the Outstanding Teaching Award of the Faculty of Arts & Science at the University of Toronto, and in 2002 he was appointed a Fellow of the Fields Institute. He has also served as chair and member of an NSERC Grant Selection Committee and as chair of the Nominations Committee for the NSERC Reallocations Steering Committee for Mathematics. Dr. Pierre Milman graduated with a B.A. from the University of Moscow in1967 and obtained his Ph.D. from the University of Tel-Aviv in 1975, after an interlude of several years as Researcher at the Institute of Chemical Physics and then Solid State Physics in Moscow. In 1975, he came to the University of Toronto as Lecturer and Research Associate, and after holding a Visiting Assistant Professorship at Purdue University from 1978 to 1980, he returned to the University of Toronto, first as an NSERC University Research Fellow until 1985, then as Associate Professor and, since 1986, as Professor. In 1997, Dr. Milman was elected Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, and in 2000 he was awarded a Killam Research Fellowship. The 2005 Jeffery-Williams Prize Lecture will be given at the CMS Summer Meeting, hosted by Waterloo University in June 2005. ********************************************************************** CMS 2004 Coxeter-James Prize: Dr. Izabella Laba (University of British Columbia) ********************************************************************** The Coxeter-James Prize recognizes young mathematicians who have made outstanding contributions to mathematical research. Dr. Izabella Laba is an outstanding young analyst with research interests in Harmonic Analysis, Combinatorics and Mathematical Physics. Her work spans a broad spectrum from pseudo-differential calculus to Szemer?di's theorem, with major contributions to quantum scattering theory and geometric combinatorics. In her Ph.D. thesis, Laba made significant contributions to the theory of N-particle scattering in a constant magnetic field, addressing the issue of asymptotic completeness for various Hamiltonians and decaying potentials in the nonlinear Schr?dinger equation. She continued this work jointly with Christian G?rard and they presented these results in a monograph in 2002. A second thread in Laba's work concerns the Kakeya conjecture on Hausdorff and Minkowski dimension of Besicovitch sets. Her joint work with Nets Katz and Terence Tao is hailed as a breakthrough, surmounting a natural barrier to improving earlier lower bounds by Thomas Wolff and Jean Bourgain. Her current research deals with questions in combinatorial number theory and measure theory, constructing, with Michael T. Lacey, "large" sets of integers without k-progression, and working, with Mihail N. Kolountzakis, on periodic tilings and spectral domains in Euclidean space. Dr. Izabella Laba obtained an M.Sc from Wroclaw University, Poland, in 1986. After three years as a Research Teaching Assistant at Wroclaw University, she attended the University of Toronto and obtained her Ph.D. under the direction of Israel Michael Sigal in 1994. Her thesis dealt with "N-particle Scattering in Constant Magnetic Fields". She held a Hedrick Assistant Professorship at the University of California at Los Angeles, UCLA, from 1994 to 1997 and an Assistant Professorship at Princeton University from 1997 until 2000. In July 2000, she joined the University of British Columbia as an Associate Professor and was granted tenure there two years later. Dr. Izabella Laba will present the 2004 Coxeter-James Prize Lecture at the CMS Winter Meeting, hosted by McGill University, in December 2004.

Elle s'int?resse particuli?rement aux syst?mes hyperboliques de lois de conservation et aux ?quations d'?volution qui changent de type. De tels syst?mes sont caract?ristiques de mod?les d'?coulement multiphase en milieux poreux et d'?coulement biphas? compressible et incompressible. ? plusieurs reprises au cours de sa carri?re, elle a ?t? la premi?re ? s'attaquer aux probl?mes les plus ardus du domaine. En proposant une nouvelle technique puissante li?e aux probl?mes aux limites libres pour approfondir la compr?hension des chocs transsoniques, elle a ouvert la voie ? une nouvelle orientation de recherche. Barbara Keyfitz a ?galement ?tudi? les probl?mes de bifurcation dans les ?quations de r?action-diffusion, notamment dans la th?orie des ondes de choc. Elle a par exemple r?ussi ? adapter des techniques de la dynamique des champs vectoriels au probl?me de l'admissibilit? des ondes de choc, qui est un probl?me de longue date en math?matiques appliqu?es. En ce moment, elle travaille en collaboration avec Suncica Canic et Eun Heui Kim ? l'analyse de solutions autosimilaires de syst?mes de lois de conservation dans des dimensions bispatiales.

On s'attend ? ce que leurs m?thodes leur permettent, ainsi qu'? d'autres, de d?couvrir de nouvelles caract?ristiques importantes des espaces singuliers. Edward Bierstone a obtenu son baccalaur?at ?s sciences de l'Universit? de Toronto en 1969 et son doctorat de l'Universit? Brandeis en 1973, sous la direction de Richard S. Palais. Il est retourn? ? Toronto comme professeur en 1973 et y est titulaire depuis 1982. Edward Bierstone a ?t? tour ? tour membre de l'Institut des Hautes ?tudes Scientifiques de Bures-sur-Yvette, en France, membre de l'Institut des ?tudes sup?rieures de Princeton, et professeur invit? dans des ?tablissements br?siliens et fran?ais. Il est devenu membre de la Soci?t? royale du Canada en 1992, il a re?u le prix d'excellence en enseignement de la Facult? des arts et des sciences de l'Universit? de Toronto en 1996, et il est devenu membre (fellow) de l'Institut Fields en 2002. M. Bierstone a pr?sid? le comit? de s?lection des subventions du CRSNG, Math?matiques pures et appliqu?es A (336), pour l'exercice 1999-2000. En 2000, il a ?galement pr?sid? le comit? de mises en candidature du comit? directeur de r?affectation des fonds du CRSNG en math?matiques. Pierre Milman a obtenu son baccalaur?at de l'Universit? de Moscou en 1967, et son doctorat de l'Universit? de Tel-Aviv en 1975, apr?s un interm?de de plusieurs ann?es, o? il a occup? un poste de chercheur ? l'Institut de physique chimique de Moscou, devenu ensuite l'Institut de physique des solides. En 1975, il est arriv? ? l'Universit? de Toronto en tant que charg? de cours et assistant de recherche. Apr?s avoir ?t? professeur adjoint en visite ? l'Universit? Purdue de 1978 ? 1980, il est retourn? ? l'Universit? de Toronto, d'abord ? titre de boursier de recherche du CRSNG jusqu'en 1985, puis comme professeur adjoint. Il est devenu professeur titulaire en 1986. Pierre Milman est devenu membre de la Soci?t? royale du Canada en 1997, et il a obtenu une bourse de recherche Killam en 2000. La Conf?rence Jeffery-Williams sera pr?sent?e ? la R?union d'?t? 2005 en juin ? l'Universit? de Waterloo. ********************************************************************** Laur?at du prix Coxeter-James 2003 : Dr. Izabella Laba (Universit? de la Colombie-Britannique) ********************************************************************** Le prix Coxeter-James rend hommage aux jeunes math?maticiens qui se sont distingu?s par l'excellence de leur contribution ? la recherche math?matique. Izabella Laba est une jeune analyste exceptionnelle qui s'int?resse ? l'analyse harmonique, ? la combinatoire et ? la physique math?matique. Ses travaux touchent un large ?ventail allant du calcul pseudo-diff?rentiel au th?or?me de Szemer?di, en passant par d'importantes contributions ? la th?orie de la diffusion quantique et ? la combinatoire g?om?trique. Dans sa th?se de doctorat, Izabella Laba a fait une importante contribution ? la th?orie de la diffusion de N-particules dans un champ magn?tique constant, en abordant la question de la compl?tude asymptotique de divers hamiltoniens, et les potentiels d?croissants dans l'?quation non lin?aire de Schr?dinger. Elle a poursuivi ces travaux en collaboration avec Christian G?rard, et ils ont d'ailleurs pr?sent? ensemble leurs r?sultats dans un ouvrage publi? en 2002. Les travaux d'Izabella Laba abordent ?galement la conjecture de Kakeya sur les dimensions Hausdorff et Minkowski des ensembles de Besicovitch. Ses travaux en collaboration avec Nets Katz et Terence Tao sont consid?r?s comme une v?ritable perc?e, car ils ?liminent un obstacle naturel ? l'am?lioration des contributions pr?c?dentes de Thomas Wolff et Jean Bourgain. En ce moment, elle concentre ses recherches sur la th?orie combinatoire des nombres et la th?orie de la mesure. En particulier, elle construit avec Michael T. Lacey de grands ensembles d'entiers sans k-progression et, de concert avec Mihail N. Kolountzakis, elle ?tudie les pavages p?riodiques et les domaines spectraux de l'espace euclidien. En 1986, Izabella Laba a obtenu une ma?trise ?s sciences de l'Universit? de Wroclaw, en Pologne. Apr?s trois ans d'assistanat de recherche et d'enseignement ? cette universit?, elle est arriv?e ? l'Universit? de Toronto en 1989, o? elle a d?croch? un doctorat sous la direction d'Israel Michael Sigal. Sa th?se, d?pos?e en 1994, s'intitulait " N-particle Scattering in Constant Magnetic Fields ". Elle a occup? un poste de professeur adjoint ? UCLA (University of California at Los Angeles) de 1994 ? 1997, et ? Princeton de 1997 ? 2000. En juillet 2000, elle est entr?e ? UBC (University of British Columbia) en tant que professeur adjoint, et y a obtenu sa permanence deux ans plus tard. Dr. Izabella Laba pr?sentera la Conf?rence Coxeter-James ? la R?union d'hiver de la SCM ? l'Universit? McGill en D?cembre 2004.

The Endowment Fund is used to fund such projects and the Endowment Grants Committee (EGC) administers the distribution of the grants and adjudicates proposals for projects. Depending on the performance of the CMS Endowment Fund, the funds available for this year?s competition may be less than past years. Proposals must address the goal and statement of purpose of the Canadian Mathematical Society. The goal of the Canadian Mathematical Society is to support the promotion and advancement of the discovery, learning, and application of mathematics. The CMS Statement of Purpose is: 1. To unify and support Canadian mathematicians through effective communication, broad membership, sponsorship of diverse activities, and partnerships with like professional societies. 2. To support mathematics research through the communication of current research to both the specialist and non-specialist, public recognition of research accomplishments and collaboration with the research institutes and granting agencies. 3. To support the advancement of mathematics education through joint projects with mathematics educators at all levels, promotion of educational advancements, and partnerships with provincial ministries of education and organizations supporting mathematics education. 4. To champion mathematics through initiatives that explain, promote and increase the general understanding of mathematics, provide extra-curricula opportunities for students, and encourage partnerships with corporate, government and not-for-profit agencies. An applicant may be involved in only one proposal per competition as a principal applicant. Proposals must come from CMS members, or, if joint, at least one principal applicant must be a CMS member. The EGC will consider funding proposals for a maximum of three years. However, multi-year proposals must be funded from the funds available to the EGC in the year of application. The EGC will consider funding proposals to a maximum of $5,000 per year. The EGC committee intends to favour proposals where CMS funds can be leveraged or where proposals have no other natural funding body to which to apply. If it is anticipated that a proposal will generate something of lasting financial value, proposers must indicate that this is the case and declare their intent with respect to that value. Application process. Application forms and templates as well as advice and directions are available at the CMS website www.cms.math.ca/Grants/EGC. Proposals must be received no later than September 30, 2004.

Only 45 were awarded Gold Medals of which an exceptional group of four students achieved a perfect score (42 out of 42). "This year a Canadian student, Jacob Tsimerman, achieved this rare honor and can be considered world champion", said Dr. Christopher Small, Canadian Team Leader. Competing against students from 84 other countries, Canadian high school students have done extremely well, winning one Gold Medal, three Bronze Medals and two Honorable Mentions at the 45th International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO), Athens, Greece from July 4 -18, 2004. The six students who competed for Canada were: Oleg Ivrii, Don Mills Collegiate Institute, Toronto (Ontario); J?nos Kram?r, University of Toronto Schools, Toronto (Ontario); Dong Uk (David) Rhee, McNally High School, Edmonton (Alberta); Peng Shi, Sir John A. MacDonald Collegiate Institute.Toronto (Ontario); Jacob Tsimerman, University of Toronto Schools, Toronto (Ontario); and Yufei Zhao, Don Mills Collegiate Institute, Toronto (Ontario). The team was accompanied by the Team Leader, Dr. Christopher Small (University of Waterloo), the Deputy Team Leader, Dr. Edward Wang (Wilfrid Laurier University), and the Observer, Professor Felix Recio (University of Toronto). At the Awards Ceremony which will be held on July 17th, 2004 in Athens a Gold Medal will be awarded to Jacob Tsimerman; Bronze Medals to J?nos Kram?r, Peng Shi and Yufei Zhao. Oleg Ivrii and Donk Uk (David) Rhee will receive Honorable Mentions. "Our young team performed extremely well and I am very proud of all of our students," said Dr. Small. "The IMO is the world championship high school mathematics competition. All six problems were very difficult and all of the Canadian students have done remarkably well. They have all demonstrated the problem solving skills, knowledge and creativity that is essential to compete at this very high level," said Dr. Graham Wright, Executive Director of the Canadian Mathematical Society (CMS), the organization responsible for the selection and training of Canada's IMO team. Although students compete individually, country rankings are obtained by adding the team's scores. The maximum score for each student is 42 and for a team of six students the maximum is 252. The Canadian team placed 20th out of 85 competing countries with a score of 132. Since 1981, Canadian students have received a total of 15 gold, 27 silver, and 55 bronze medals. The six members of the Canadian IMO team were selected from among more than 200,000 students who participated in local, provincial and national mathematics contests. Prior to leaving for the 45th IMO, the team trained at the Universit? du Qu?bec ? Montr?al (UQAM) from June 24th to July 8th, 2004. Team members must be less than 20 years old when they write the IMO. The 2004 IMO contest was set by an international jury of mathematicians, one from each country, and was written on Monday July 12th and Tuesday, July 13th. On each day of the contest, there are three questions to be solved within a time limit of four and one-half hours. The top 10 teams and their scores are: China (220); USA (212); Russia (205); Vietnam (196); Bulgaria (194); Taiwan (190); Hungary (182); Iran (178); Romania (176).

I am looking forward to serving the community over the next two years with energy and enthusiasm. It is really striking to observe how much our environment has changed in the past few years. Most striking is the development of new infrastructure supporting mathematics and related disciplines: the AARMS; the CRM; the FI; PIMS; and the MITACS centre of excellence; as well as new cooperation between our community's societies and organizations: the Canadian Applied and Industrial Mathematics Society, the CMS, the Canadian Symposium on Fluid Dynamics, the Canadian Operations Research Society, the Canadian Society for the History and Philosophy of Mathematics, and the Statistical Society of Canada. This spirit of collaboration is most often expressed through regular joint meetings, of course. Certainly, international ventures like a second Canada-France meeting could be organized jointly with the Institutes. And, there are events like the School Mathematics Fora, another large cooperative venture. It does seem as though we could be heading towards regular "math learned" conferences, although the long lead time involved in planning our meetings is a significant obstacle in the way of such an initiative. One of the most exciting initiatives that will involve us all is the opportunity to host the International Congress of Mathematicians in Montreal in 2010. This is a joint venture of equal partners: the CMS, CRM, FI, PIMS and MITACS, together with all "math-learned" societies in Canada: SSC, CAIMS, CORS, CSHPM, CSFD, etc. Regards, Eddy H E A Campbell, Vice-President (Academic) Memorial University of Newfoundland, 709-737-8246 St John's NL, A1C 5S7 Fax 2074 vpacad@mun.ca -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Le Comité d'attribution des bourses du fonds de dotation (CABFD) se charge d'évaluer les propositions et d'attribuer les bourses. Selon le rendement du Fonds de dotation de la SMC, le financement disponible pour le concours de cette année pourrait être inférieur à celui des années précédentes. Les propositions doivent être conformes à l'objectif et à l'énoncé d'intention de la SMC. La Société mathématique du Canada s'est donnée pour objectif de promouvoir et de favoriser la découverte et l'apprentissage des mathématiques, et les applications qui en découlent. Son énoncé d'intention est le suivant : 1. Regrouper et appuyer les mathématiciens canadiens en favorisant la communication et l'adhésion à grande échelle, en commanditant diverses activités et en établissant des partenariats avec des associations professionnelles semblables à la nôtre. 2. Encourager la recherche mathématique en diffusant les résultats de recherches en cours aux spécialistes et aux non-spécialistes, en faisant reconnaître publiquement les travaux de chercheurs et en collaborant avec les instituts de recherche et les organismes subventionnaires. 3. Favoriser l'apprentissage des mathématiques en réalisant des projets avec des professeurs de mathématiques de tous les niveaux, en faisant connaître les progrès dans l'enseignement et en établissant des partenariats avec les ministères de l'éducation provinciaux et les organismes voués à l'apprentissage des mathématiques. 4. Défendre les mathématiques en créant des initiatives visant à expliquer, à promouvoir et à mieux faire connaître la discipline, en organisant des activités parascolaires et en encourageant les partenariats avec les sociétés privées, les gouvernements et les organismes à but non lucratif. Un demandeur ne peut présenter qu'une proposition par concours en tant que demandeur principal. Les propositions doivent venir de membres de la SMC. S'il s'agit d'un projet conjoint, au moins un des demandeurs principaux doit être membre de la SMC. Le CABFD évaluera les projets qui s'étalent sur un maximum de trois ans. Les projets s'échelonnant sur plusieurs années seront toutefois financés en fonction des fonds dont disposera le Comité l'année de la demande. Le Comité se limitera aux propositions dont le financement demandé n'excède pas 5 000 $ par année. Le CABFD désire privilégier les propositions où les fonds de la SMC peuvent être équilibrés ou les propositions qui ne disposent d'aucun organisme de financement naturel où postuler. Si les demandeurs prévoient tirer une valeur financière durable du projet, ils doivent l'indiquer et expliquer leur intention envers cette valeur. Processus de demande. Le formulaire de demande et gabarits, ainsi que conseils et instructions sont disponible au site de la SMC www.smc.math.ca/Grants/EGC/.f. Les applications doivent être reçues au plus tard le 30 septembre 2004.

The Endowment Fund is used to fund such projects and the Endowment Grants Committee (EGC) administers the distribution of the grants and adjudicates proposals for projects. Depending on the performance of the CMS Endowment Fund, the funds available for this year's competition may be less than past years. Proposals must address the goal and statement of purpose of the Canadian Mathematical Society. The goal of the Canadian Mathematical Society is to support the promotion and advancement of the discovery, learning, and application of mathematics. The CMS Statement of Purpose is: 1. To unify and support Canadian mathematicians through effective communication, broad membership, sponsorship of diverse activities, and partnerships with like professional societies. 2. To support mathematics research through the communication of current research to both the specialist and non-specialist, public recognition of research accomplishments and collaboration with the research institutes and granting agencies. 3. To support the advancement of mathematics education through joint projects with mathematics educators at all levels, promotion of educational advancements, and partnerships with provincial ministries of education and organizations supporting mathematics education. 4. To champion mathematics through initiatives that explain, promote and increase the general understanding of mathematics, provide extra-curricula opportunities for students, and encourage partnerships with corporate, government and not-for-profit agencies. An applicant may be involved in only one proposal per competition as a principal applicant. Proposals must come from CMS members, or, if joint, at least one principal applicant must be a CMS member. The EGC will consider funding proposals for a maximum of three years. However, multi-year proposals must be funded from the funds available to the EGC in the year of application. The EGC will consider funding proposals to a maximum of $5,000 per year. The EGC committee intends to favour proposals where CMS funds can be leveraged or where proposals have no other natural funding body to which to apply. If it is anticipated that a proposal will generate something of lasting financial value, proposers must indicate that this is the case and declare their intent with respect to that value. Application process. Application forms and templates as well as advice and directions are available at the CMS website www.cms.math.ca/Grants/EGC. Proposals must be received no later than September 30, 2004.

Dear Colleagues, It is with great pleasure that I inform you that Fran?ois Lalonde, Professor in the Mathematics and Statistics Department at the Universit? de Montr?al, was named Director of the Centre de recherches math?matiques (CRM) on September 14, 2004. Professor Lalonde has been a member of the CRM since 1991. A member of the Royal Society of Canada, Professor Lalonde enjoys a well-established scientific reputation in the international community. >From 1996 to 2000, he directed the Institut des sciences math?matiques (ISM), a consortium of six Qu?bec universities (Montr?al, McGill, UQAM, Concordia, Laval and Sherbrooke). In this capacity, he improved the visibility of the ISM by putting in place measures furthering the place of Montr?al, and the province as a whole, as a North American centre of excellence in mathematical research and training. Mr. Lalonde was also the Founder and Director of the Centre interuniversitaire de recherche en g?om?trie diff?rentielle et en topologie (Interuniversity research centre in differential geometry and topology) which gathers together the best geometers and topologists from UQAM, McGill and Concordia universities. A mathematician and physicist by training, Fran?ois Lalonde holds a Doctorat d'Etat (1985) from Orsay Center in Paris, in the field of differential topology. He was a Killam Research Fellowship recipient (roughly equivalent to an American Guggenheim) in 2000-2002. Fran?ois Lalonde holds the only Canada Research Chair in Symplectic Geometry and Topology. These disciplines focus on the development of a unified theory aiming at bridging the gap between classical physics and quantum mechanics. Founded at the Universit? de Montr?al in 1969, the CRM was the first mathematics research institute established in Canada (it is now joined by the Fields Institute in Ontario and the Pacific Institute for Mathematical Sciences in Western Canada). In 1984, The Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) conferred on the CRM the status of national research center. Its main funding sources are NSERC, the Qu?bec natural sciences research council (FQRNT) and five sponsoring Qu?bec universities (principally Montr?al, but also McGill, UQAM, Concordia, and Laval). The Centre runs an annual thematic program as well as shorter programs and workshops. Courses aimed at graduate students and postdoctoral fellows wishing to specialize in new areas are usually part of the thematic programs. There are many well-established mathematicians around the world who have furthered their research and training at the CRM. The CRM has over 150 members and postdoctoral fellows and it welcomes numerous visiting researchers each year. The activities of the Centre encompass basic research in mathematics as well as several fields of application. The majority of members are part of eight thematic laboratories (or research groups). The research projects pursued by the CRM's members are of world-class caliber. The CRM's membership is the lifeblood of research in mathematics in the province of Qu?bec. The CRM's publications appear in two series published by the AMS (CRM Monographs Series and CRM Proceedings and Lecture Notes), in a series published by Springer-Verlag New York (CRM Series in Mathematical Physics), and under its own imprint. Alain Caill? Vice-rector Research Universit? de Montr?al Chers / Ch?res coll?gues, J'ai le tr?s grand plaisir de vous annoncer que Fran?ois Lalonde, professeur au D?partement de math?matiques et de statistique, a ?t? nomm?, le 14 septembre, directeur du Centre de recherches math?matiques (CRM), dont il est membre depuis 1991. Aussi membre de la Soci?t? royale du Canada, le professeur Lalonde jouit d'une grande renomm?e scientifique sur les sc?nes nationale et internationale. Il a ?t? directeur de l'Institut des sciences math?matiques (ISM), un consortium de six universit?s qu?b?coises de 1996 ? 2000. ? ce titre, il a accru le rayonnement de l'ISM et contribu? grandement ? la mise en place de mesures destin?es ? faire de Montr?al et du Qu?bec un p?le d'excellence en Am?rique sur les plans de la formation et de la recherche en math?matiques. M. Lalonde a ?galement fond? et dirig? le Centre interuniversitaire derecherche en g?om?trie diff?rentielle et en topologie (CIRGET), qui regroupe les meilleurs g?om?tres et topologues des universit?s montr?alaises. Math?maticien et physicien de formation ainsi que laur?at d'une bourse Killam, Fran?ois Lalonde est titulaire de la seule chaire de recherche du Canada consacr?e ? la g?om?trie symplectique et ? la topologie. Ces disciplines se consacrent au d?veloppement de la ?th?orie unifi?e? dont le but est de faire le pont entre la physique classique et la m?canique quantique. Fond? ? l'Universit? de Montr?al en 1969, le Centre de recherches math?matiques fut le premier institut de recherche math?matique ? ?tre ?tabli au Canada (rejoint depuis par l'Institut Fields en Ontario et le Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences dans l'Ouest canadien). En 1984, le Conseil de recherches en sciences naturelles et en g?nie du Canada (CRSNG) a conf?r? au CRM le statut de centre national. Les principales sources de financement du CRM proviennent du CRSNG, du Fonds qu?b?cois de recherche sur la nature et les technologies (FQRNT), et cinq universit?s qu?b?coises (principalement l'Universit? de Montr?al, mais ?galement l'UQ?M, McGill, Concordia et Laval). Le CRM regroupe plus de 150 membres et boursiers postdoctoraux, en plus d'accueillir chaque ann?e un grand nombre de chercheurs invit?s. Les activit?s du CRM englobent la recherche fondamentale ainsi que divers domaines d'application. La majorit? des membres font partie de huit laboratoires th?matiques. Les projets de recherche qui y sont poursuivis sont le fait d'une ?quipe de chercheurs de calibre international, compos?e de l'essentiel des forces vives du Qu?bec dans la discipline. Les publications du CRM paraissent dans deux collections de l'American Mathematical Society (CRM Monographs Series et CRM Proceedings and Lecture Notes), dans une collection chez Springer-Verlag New York (CRM Series in Mathematical Physics), en plus de para?tre dans sa propre maison d'?dition (Les Publications du CRM).

He will be presented with the award at the CMS 2004 Winter Meeting Banquet on December 12th at the Hilton Hotel Bonaventure, Montr?al, Qu?bec. The Adrien Pouliot Award is for individuals, or teams of individuals, who have made significant and sustained contributions to mathematics education in Canada. The 2004 Adrien Pouliot Award is awarded to Jean-Marie De Koninck (Laval) for his outstanding role as "Ambassador of Mathematics" in Canada. Jean-Marie used his public profile - gained through his leadership role in Operation Red Nose - to become a popular commentator on scientific issues in the electronic media. In particular, he used his opportunities to create a positive public image for mathematics and mathematicians. An example is the 29 episode television series "C'est math?matique!" teaching mathematical concepts through their use in everyday situations. For these reasons, and many others, Jean-Marie de Koninck is recognized by the Canadian Mathematical Society as an exemplary contributor to Mathematics Education. Jean-Marie De Koninck has been a professor with the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the Universit? Laval since 1972. During his career as a teacher and researcher, he has published more than 50 articles on number theory as well as five books, including two that appeared just last year (1001 probl?mes en th?orie classique des nombres, ?ditions Ellipses, Paris, and Math?matiques de l'ing?nieur, ?ditions Loze, Montr?al, co-authored respectively by Armel Mercier and Norbert Lacroix). It is in his role as mathematics ambassador to the general public for more than 15 years, however, that Jean-Marie De Koninck has left an indelible mark and has made an extraordinary contribution to the promotion and development of mathematics in Canada. His accomplishments are many and varied. Dr. De Koninck's enviable reputation as a teacher has led to a multitude of speaking engagements at universities, colleges and high schools, as well as at seminars and mathematics camps. He has frequently been invited to deliver keynote addresses at provincial and Canadian conferences of mathematical associations. Dr. De Koninck's exceptional dedication to community projects has earned him a reputation among the media as an excellent communicator. (Noteworthy in this regard is Operation Red Nose, an ambitious undertaking he founded in 1984 to raise public awareness about the dangers of drinking and driving; it now involves more than 45,000 volunteers across Canada.) He is regularly asked by the electronic press to comment on new scientific and mathematical developments. His scientific expertise, combined with the renown he has acquired in the social arena (and even in sports: for several years he was an accredited commentator on competitive swimming for Radio-Canada television) have allowed Jean-Marie De Koninck to make an undeniable contribution to fostering a positive public image of mathematics and of mathematicians, too! In addition, his organizational talents have been behind a long list of successful scientific meetings and conferences at the provincial, national and international levels. That Jean-Marie De Koninck has had a successful career as a top-calibre mathematician while making such a significant contribution to society is remarkable in itself. But the fact that he has used the visibility and respect he has earned through his social commitment to promote the field of mathematics enhances his stature as a mathematician. The breadth of his academic and social achievements has earned him numerous awards and distinctions, including the Order of Canada in 1994 and the Ordre national du Qu?bec in 1999.

Jean-Marie De Koninck. Le laur?at recevra son prix le 12 d?cembre, au banquet de la R?union d'hiver 2004 de la SMC, ? l'H?tel Hilton Bonaventure de Montr?al (Qu?bec). Le prix Adrien-Pouliot rend hommage aux personnes qui ont fait une contribution importante et soutenue ? l'?ducation math?matique au Canada. Le prix Adrien-Pouliot 2004 est accord? ? Jean-Marie De Koninck (Laval) pour son r?le exceptionnel en tant qu'" ambassadeur des math?matiques " au Canada. Tr?s actif dans son milieu, notamment en tant que fondateur d'Op?ration Nez rouge, il est r?guli?rement sollicit? par la presse ?lectronique pour commenter des nouvelles scientifiques. D?s que l'occasion se pr?sente, il s'empresse de redorer l'image des math?matiques et des math?maticiens aupr?s du public. Ce qu'il a d'ailleurs fait avec brio dans les 29 ?pisodes de la s?rie t?l?vis?e C'est math?matique!, qui visait ? pr?senter des concepts math?matiques pr?sents dans notre vie de tous les jours. Pour toutes ces raisons et bien d'autres, la Soci?t? math?matique du Canada consid?re Jean-Marie De Koninck comme une figure exemplaire en ?ducation math?matique. Jean-Marie De Koninck est professeur au D?partement de math?matiques et de statistique de l'Universit? Laval depuis 1972. Il a publi?, au cours de sa carri?re d'enseignant-chercheur, plus d'une cinquantaine d'articles de recherche en th?orie des nombres ainsi que cinq livres, dont deux au cours de la derni?re ann?e (1001 probl?mes en th?orie classique des nombres, ?ditions Ellipses, Paris, et Math?matiques de l'ing?nieur, ?ditions Loze, Montr?al, ?crits en collaboration respectivement avec Armel Mercier et Norbert Lacroix). Mais c'est principalement par son r?le d'ambassadeur des math?matiques aupr?s du grand public, et ce, depuis plus de quinze ans, que Jean-Marie De Koninck se d?marque nettement et qu'il a fait un apport hors du commun ? la promotion et au d?veloppement des math?matiques au Canada. Ses contributions s'inscrivent dans des contextes nombreux et vari?s. D'abord, sa r?putation d'enseignant hors pair lui a valu d'?tre maintes fois invit? ? pr?senter des conf?rences dans des universit?s, coll?ges et ?coles secondaires, ainsi qu'? l'occasion de s?minaires et de camps math?matiques. De m?me, il a ?t? ? plusieurs reprises conf?rencier principal lors de congr?s d'associations math?matiques provinciales ou canadiennes. Par ailleurs, gr?ce ? son exceptionnelle implication communautaire - rappelons tout particuli?rement qu'il a fond? en 1984 l'Op?ration Nez rouge, une vaste campagne de sensibilisation au danger de la conduite en ?tat d'?bri?t? impliquant plus de 45 000 b?n?voles au Canada -, le monde des m?dias a reconnu en lui un excellent communicateur. C'est ainsi qu'il est r?guli?rement sollicit? par la presse ?lectronique pour commenter des nouvelles scientifiques et math?matiques. Conjuguant la notori?t? qu'il a acquise sur le plan social (et m?me sportif, ?tant depuis de nombreuses ann?es le commentateur attitr? des comp?titions de natation ? la t?l?vision de Radio-Canada) et son expertise scientifique, Jean-Marie De Koninck contribue ind?niablement au d?veloppement chez le grand public d'une image positive des math?matiques... et des math?maticiens! Enfin, ses talents d'organisateur l'ont amen? ? organiser une foule de r?unions et colloques scientifiques, tant ? l'?chelle provinciale, nationale qu'internationale. Que Jean-Marie De Koninck ait r?ussi ? mener une carri?re de math?maticien de haut niveau tout en s'impliquant de fa?on si marqu?e dans la soci?t? est en soi un exploit. Mais qu'il ait su mettre ? profit la visibilit? et le respect que lui conf?rait son implication sociale en vue de la promotion des math?matiques est tout ? son honneur en tant que math?maticien. L'ensemble de son ouvre acad?mique et sociale lui a valu de nombreux prix et distinctions. Il a en particulier ?t? d?cor? de l'Ordre du Canada en 1994 et de l'Ordre national du Qu?bec en 1999.

Robinson Prize for 2004. The awards will be presented at the CMS 2004 Winter Meeting Banquet on December 12th at the Hilton Bonaventure Hotel in Montreal, QC. The G. de B. Robinson Award was inaugurated to recognize the publication of excellent papers in the Canadian Journal of Mathematics and the Canadian Mathematical Bulletin and to encourage the submission of the highest quality papers to these journals. The first award was presented for papers that appeared in the Canadian Journal of Mathematics in 1994-1995. The 2004 G. de B. Robinson Award is awarded jointly to Victor Havin and Javad Mashreghi for their two papers "Admissible Majorants for Model Subspaces of H2, Part I: Slow Winding of the Generating Inner Function" and "Admissible Majorants for Model Subspaces H2, Part II: Fast Winding of the Generating Inner Function" which were published in the Canadian Journal of Mathematics, Volume 55 (2003), no. 6, pages 1231- 1263 and 1264 - 1301. These papers produce striking results on admissible majorants attached to model subspaces of the Hardy space of functions in the upper half-plane, leading to a novel perspective on the Multiplier Theorem of Beurling and Malliavin, one of the deepest results of harmonic analysis in the twentieth century. Written in a careful and engaging style, providing both a lucid survey of the background, and complete enlightening proofs of their main results, these papers have recently been exploited by the authors and Fedor Nazarov to obtain a new proof of the Beurling and Malliavin Theorem that does not leave the real line, and applies to a large class of model subspaces. Victor Havin was born in Leningrad, Russia, in 1933 and obtained his Diploma in Mathematics in 1955 and his first Ph.D. degree from Leningrad State University in 1958, under the supervision of Leonid Kantorovich. He obtained his second higher doctoral degree in 1969, also from Leningrad State University. He started teaching at the Leningrad State University in 1959 and became full professor in 1970. Twenty Six graduate students have obtained their Ph.D. degrees under Havin's supervision. Eight of his students obtained the second higher doctoral degree and three won the Salem Prize for young analysts. Victor Havin has lectured and worked in many countries, particularly at McGill University for nine semesters. His main research has been on spaces of analytic functions, approximation, potential theory, and harmonic analysis. He is the author of nearly 100 publications, including a monograph, with B. Joericke, entitled "The Uncertainty Principle in Harmonic Analysis" which was published by Springer-Verlag in 1994. Victor Havin obtained an Honorary Doctorate from Linkoping University, Sweden, in 1993. He was the Onsager Professor in 2000 at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, the Spencer Lecturer, Kansas State University, in 1996, and he became a distinguished scholar of the Russian Federation, awarded by the President of Russia, in 2003. Javad Mashreghi was born in Kashan, Iran, in 1968 and received his B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering (Electronics) from the University of Tehran in 1991. He obtained his M.Sc. in Mathematics under the supervision of Arsalan Chademan from the University of Tehran in 1993. In 1996, Javad Mashreghi moved to Canada and, in 2001, he obtained his Ph.D. under the supervision of Victor Havin (St. Petersburg University) and Paul Koosis (McGill University). Also in 2001, Mashreghi joined the staff at the Universit? Laval and was selected a Professeur ?toile for his excellence in teaching in 2003. In addition to holding an NSERC individual research grant, Mashreghi has two team grants from Fonds Qu?b?cois de la Recherche sur la Nature et les Technologies (FQRNT). He has also received the prestigious FCAR individual research grant for new researchers for the period 2002 to 2005. Since June 2004, he is also been an Adjunct Professor of the University of Tehran. Mashreghi's research interest is complex analysis, in particular spaces of analytic functions, e.g. Hardy, Bergman and Dirichlet spaces, with connections to other fields including potential theory, approximation theory, Fourier analysis and harmonic analysis.

To address this need, HPCS 2005 will be instituting the concept of "Short Communications" at this year's symposium. A "Short Communication" is a brief (one to two page) presentation of an idea or research project in progress. The communications are welcome for all conference topics. They will be lightly refereed and will appear on the conference website. The goal is to create birds-of-a-feather sessions each targeting a specific field where researchers can compare methods, tools, recent results and experiences, and gain immediate feedback from their peers. These sessions are intended to encourage more diverse participation and some lively discussions. We would particularly encourage students to take advantage of this alternative submission strategy. **SUBMISSION DEADLINE: Sunday, March 6, 2004.** (Authors will be notified of within 2 to 3 weeks of submission.) A format for the Short Communications will be posted on the website (www.sharcnet.ca/eventshpcs2005). We invite inquiries regarding these contributed talks AND proposals for specific sessions, particularly in new and non-traditional areas. We are also interested in hearing from people willing to chair such a session. Contact us at hpcs2005@sharcnet.ca. Full paper submissions will still undergo the usual rigorous peer review process and appear in the published proceedings. Talks presenting such papers will be given priority for all sessions (including the new workshop sessions) and must be submitted by the regular deadline: JANUARY 3, 2005.
