In addition, the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico (UNAM) has committed substantial funds to support Mexican participants in BIRS activities, and will be sending its Vice-Rector for Research to help us make the case for the renewal of BIRS in the upcoming joint review by NSERC, NSF, ASRA and CONACYT. We welcome Dr. Jose Antonio de la Pena (Director of the Instituto de Matem\'aticas at UNAM and President of the Mexican Academy of Science) to the scientific leadership of BIRS. His role in arranging, coordinating, and participating in, the visit of Ivar Ekeland (PIMS Director), Arvind Gupta (MITACS Scientific Director) and myself as BIRS Scientific Director, with Mexican scientific leadership, UNAM senior officials and the Director General of CONACYT, was crucial to the success of this groundbreaking initiative. Needless to say, we are thrilled by this development as we believe it to be a first step towards a major new era for collaborative research in the mathematical sciences in North America. On another note, and following the call by the directors of PIMS, MSRI and MITACS, we have so far received over 550 letters of support for BIRS, including many compelling testimonials by BIRS participants on the impact of the station on their research. To all those who already wrote, we are extremely appreciative for your input.

An academic authority in the United States has again raised the possibility that it may be due to "innate differences," "innate ability," or "natural ability". Such remarks simply serve to perpetuate and legitimize the exclusion of women from fields where they are sorely needed, and to deprive society of one-half of its workforce, not to mention the indignity of branding some of us as unable to understand science. They are certainly not supported by the history nor the current practice of science. Even in the most distant past, some women have been able to overcome the tremendous difficulties put in their way by a male-dominated academic world and to make their mark in history as great mathematicians. Nowadays, girls and women in schools, colleges and universities, perform at least as well as boys and men in scientific programmes, even if they are less in number. We at the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences (PIMS) are determined to increase the presence of women in mathematics, by breaking down social stereotypes of the kind we have just heard, and by encouraging female participation in our activities. We thank our female colleagues in the mathematics departments of PIMS universities for the substantial contributions they are making to mathematics, and we hope there will be more of them in the future.

The award will be presented at the Society's 2005 Summer Meeting in Waterloo (June 4 - 6). Philip Loewen has an incredible record in teaching over many years, resulting in an enormous positive influence on his faculty colleagues, his postdoctoral fellows and graduate students and, most of all, on his undergraduate students. Loewen's students paint a portrait of a teacher who gives exceedingly clear lectures, motivates students to think deeply and is intensely dedicated to encouraging students to work hard and appreciate the value of Mathematics. Philip Loewen is consistently precise, rigorous, well-organized and richly motivated in his lectures. At the same time he is a magician with words, concepts, ideas and specific topics. His students acknowledge that he is very demanding, requiring that they understand the mathematical concepts and learn how to apply them to practical problems. His lectures are as highly appreciated by the students of the Honours program in Mathematics as by the engineering students. The students' comments include: "his ability to weave additional layers of knowledge into his mathematical tapestry", "He showed us the beauty of maths", "He teaches with vivid descriptions... which come from his enthusiasm for and love of math." Loewen won UBC's prestigious Killam Teaching Prize in Science for 1999-2000. In autumn 2004, the first year he became eligible again for the competition, his students spontaneously nominated him. The students also report that "Dr. Loewen makes himself readily available to help any who will come to his door. "He has the ability to make a student feel important and empowered in an environment where many undergraduates begin to doubt themselves." Philip Loewen has extensive online resources for his students, including detailed full lecture notes in PDF format. His web notes often contain extra enriching material not covered in the lectures. Philip Loewen is very involved in promoting high-quality instruction at the largest possible scale: late each summer, he runs an orientation session for mathematics instructors new to UBC. The session brings the newcomers together with senior faculty to describe and discuss some of the mechanics and expectations of teaching at UBC. Philip Loewen has been active in mathematics education at all levels, from consultation on the secondary school curriculum in British Columbia to supervision of postgraduate students and postdoctoral fellows. He is an active member of the BC Association of Mathematics Teachers (BCAMT) and, until July 2004, he served as a PostSecondary Representative on the Executive of the BCAMT. In 1999-2001 he was involved with the Pacific Institute for Mathematical Sciences Elementary Grades Mathematics Contest. He often volunteers to help grade papers for the Euclid Mathematics Contest and is involved in issues of Mathematics curriculum development for Grades 11 and 12 with the BC Ministry of Education. He co-chaired a working group on the preparation for university engineering and science courses at the 2003 Canada School Mathematics Forum. He has chaired the Department's Curriculum Committee since 1999 and was the Department Co-op Program Co-ordinator from 1996 to 2002. Philip Loewen obtained his B.Sc. in Mathematics (Honours) in 1981 from the University of Alberta and then his M.Sc. and Ph.D. from the University of British Columbia in 1983 and 1986, respectively. After completing a NSERC-sponsored postdoctoral fellowship at Centre de Recherches Math?matiques in Montreal and Imperial College of Science and Technology in London, UK, he joined the University of British Columbia in 1987. Throughout his career Philip Loewen has been an active researcher. In addition to his many research publications, he has written an outstanding advanced textbook on Optimal Control.

After completing his B.Sc. and M.Sc. at the University of Toronto in 1992, Dr. Vakil obtained his Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1997 under the supervision of Joe Harris. Dr. Vakil then spent a year as a post-doctoral fellow at Princeton University, and three years at MIT as a Moore Instructor, before becoming an Assistant Professor at Stanford in 2001. Dr.Vakil works in algebraic geometry, investigating the enumerative geometry of projective algebraic curves. His most spectacular work has been done in the last years, in his study of degenerations in a Grassmannian, to solve several old problems in Schubert calculus. One of his conclusions is that all Schubert problems are enumerative over the real numbers. This has been a major goal in the area of real enumerative geometry for at least two decades, and Dr. Vakil has given a complete solution. The exceptional work of Ravi Vakil was recognized by several prizes and honors, including a NSF Career Fellowship, a Sloan Research Fellowship, a Centennial Fellowship and a G. de B. Robinson Prize It is with great pleasure that the CRM awards the 2005 Andre-Aisenstadt Mathematics Prize to Dr. Ravi Vakil in recognition of research achievement in mathematics. The Prize will be awarded at a ceremony to be held on April 29, 2005 at the CRM.

Dr. Penny E. Haxell works in Combinatorics and Graph Theory, focussing on extremal problems. She has obtained highly interesting results using combinatorial, probabilistic and, more recently, topological tools in a very fascinating manner. In all her work she exhibits impressive capability, originality and technical ability, and her pioneering work is well known internationally. Her work in 1995 with Kohayakawa and Luczak, led to a profound study of Szemeredi's lemma in a sparse setting, and their methods are still being developed fruitfully by others. Shortly thereafter, she gave an ingenious proof of a conjecture of Aharoni. This led to a collaboration that culminated in a beautiful and celebrated paper applying topological ideas to give a simple sufficient condition for a system of distinct representatives in a hypergraph family. The work has already found manifold applications. The Haxell-R?dl Theorem, published in 2001, asserts that an optimal fractional packing of one graph into another can be converted into an actual packing that is more or less as good. It can facilitate the proof of a stability, or structural, result without the need for a pre-existing extremal theorem, from which it may then be possible to recover the extremal theorem itself. This line of research is very new, with great potential and prospects. One of her latest papers gives a proof that the strong chromatic number of a graph is at most three times the maximum degree. This is a direction of research in which Alon's ten-year-old result was the previous best but, whereas Alon's approach was probabilistic, Haxell's is a lovely demonstration of traditional graph theory. Dr. Haxell received a B. Math.Honours from the University of Waterloo in 1988 and was awarded the University of Waterloo Alumni Association Gold Medal for highest academic achievement in the Faculty of Mathematics. She received her Ph.D., supervised by Bela Bollobas, from the University of Cambridge in 1993. She has been a member of the Department of Combinatorics and Optimization, University of Waterloo, since 1993, rising to rank of Full Professor in 2004. In 2002, she was a Visiting Professor at Bell Laboratories, Lucent Technologies, New Jersey. She received an NSERC Women?s Award from 1993 to 1998, and an Ontario Premier?s Research Excellence Award from 2001 to 2006. Dr. Haxell is a managing editor of the Journal of Combinatorial Theory (Series B), widely regarded as the best in the subject. She has been active in the organization of international conferences and seminars. From 1997 to 2001, she served on the Board of Directors of the Canadian Mathematical Society. Dr. Penny Haxell will present the 2006 Krieger-Nelson Prize Lecture at the CMS 2006 Summer Meeting hosted by the University of Calgary in June 2006. ************************************************************************************* CMS 2006 Jeffery-Williams Prize: Dr. Andrew Granville (Universit? de Montr?al) ************************************************************************************* The Jeffery-Williams Prize recognizes mathematicians who have made outstanding contributions to mathematical research. Dr. Andrew Granville is recognized world-wide as a leading analytic number theorist. He has contributed to various areas of number theory, and in each one, he has left his mark with striking results and solutions to long standing problems. A sample of his first rate work has to include his proof with Alford and Pomerance of the infinitude of Carmichael numbers with the important practical consequence that many commercially available primality tests falsely certified many composite numbers as prime. One should also mention his papers with Friedlander, and very recently with Soundararajan, on the irregularities of the distribution of primes, and more generally, of arithmetic sequences in arithmetic progressions; his work with Bombieri and Pintz on squares in arithmetic progressions; his series of papers with Soundararajan on the distributions of character and exponential sums; and his interesting paper with Stark on the abc-Conjecture and Siegel zeros of L-functions of imaginary quadratic fields. The above papers contain major breakthroughs and constitute fundamental advances in analytic number theory. Accordingly, they have appeared in the top tier of mathematical journals. Dr. Granville?s contributions have been recognized by an invitation to speak at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Zurich 1994, as well as numerous prizes and honours. An excellent expositor, Dr. Granville is highly sought after as a plenary speaker or to explain sophisticated mathematical concepts and facts in an intriguing and understandable way. A typical example of his mastery of the art of exposition is his very recent comprehensive article "It is easy to determine whether a given integer is prime" in the Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society. The Canadian mathematical community is extremely fortunate that Dr. Granville returned to Canada in 2002, where he earlier undertook graduate studies and a postdoctoral fellowship. While not in Canada, he maintained strong ties through the organization of sessions, service to NSERC, the Fields Institute, as well as to the Canadian Number Theory Association. Dr. Andrew Granville received a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) degree in 1983 and a Certificate of Advanced Studies (Distinction) in 1984, both at Trinity College, Cambridge University. He went Queen's University where, under the supervision of Paulo Ribenboim, he completed his Ph. D. in 1987 (which included what were then some of the best results known on Fermat's Last Theorem). He was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Toronto (1987-1989) and a member of the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton (1989-1991). In 1991, he took up a position as Assistant Professor at the University of Georgia, where he attained the rank of Associate Professor in 1993 and became Full Professor and holder of the David C. Barrow Chair of Mathematics in 1995. In 2002, he returned to Canada, accepting a Canada Research Chair at the Universit? de Montr?al. His numerous honours include an Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship (1992-1995), a Presidential Faculty Fellowship (awarded by President Clinton) from 1994 to 1999, the 1995 Hasse Prize of the Mathematical Association of America, and the 1999 Ribenboim Prize of the Canadian Number Theory Association. He served on NSERC's Grant Selection Committee from 1995 to 1998, on the NSERC Membership Subcommittee from 1996 to 1997, and the Computation Subcommittee from 1997 to 1998. For the United States National Science Foundation (NSF), he was a member of the CAREER Panel in 1996, the POWRE Panel in 2000, and the "Committee of Visitors" in 2001. Dr. Granville has served on the AMS Editorial Boards Committee (1996-1999), the AMS Conference Program Selection Committee (1998-2000), serving as Chair from 1999 to 2000, and is currently a member of the CMS Research Committee. He has also served on the Editorial Boards of close to a dozen other journals. He has supervised many graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. Dr. Granville will present the 2006 Jeffery-Williams Prize Lecture at the CMS Summer Meeting, hosted by the University of Calgary in June 2006. ************************************************************************************* CMS 2005 Coxeter-James Prize: Dr. Robert McCann (University of Toronto) ************************************************************************************* The Coxeter-James Prize recognizes young mathematicians who have made outstanding contributions to mathematical research. The referees describe Robert McCann as a ?creative, deep and dynamic mathematician?. In the ten years since he graduated from Princeton, he has become one of the leading figures in the area of optimal transportation and its many applications. His work balances very "pure" and rigorous contributions to deep mathematics with the discovery of new applications to image recognition, atmospheric circulation patterns, and the kinetic theory of granular media. He is considered to be one of the most innovative geometric analysts of his generation. In his 1994 Princeton dissertation, Dr. McCann introduced an extremely original interpolation technique into the calculus of variations, based upon Y. Brenier's polar factorization of vector fields. In recent years this breakthrough has motivated a lot of research into the fundamental inequalities of mathematical physics and geometry. In recent years he has been at the forefront of the progress in Monge-Kantorovich mass transfer theory. Dr. McCann?s joint work with Caffarelli and Feldman uses geometric measure theory and analysis to contribute to the solution of Monge's original transportation problem, an unsolved problem for over 200 years. Over the past years, Dr. McCann has also collaborated with many others on a wide variety of related problems, motivated by applied problems in image processing, mathematical economics, and meteorology. An extensive survey documenting his central contributions is contained in C. Villani's recent book on Optimal Transportation. Dr. McCann graduated from Queen's University in 1989 with a B.Sc. degree and obtained his Ph.D. from Princeton University in 1994. From 1994 to 1998, he was the Tamarkin Assistant Professor at Brown University and held an NSERC Postdoctoral Fellowship from 1994 to 1996 and an American Mathematical Society Centennial Fellowship from 1996 to 1998. In 1998, he joined the University of Toronto as an Associate Professor and was promoted to Full Professor in 2004. He was awarded the Monroe H. Martin Prize in Applied Mathematics in 2001 and, together with Caffarelli, Evans, Feldman, and Gangbo, has held two National Science Foundation Focused Research Group Grant (2000 - 2007). Dr. Robert McCann will present the 2005 Coxeter-James Prize Lecture at the CMS Winter Meeting, hosted by the University of Victoria in December 2005. ************************************************************************************* 2005 CMS Doctoral Prize - Dr. Vasilisa Shramchenko (Concordia University) ************************************************************************************* The CMS Doctoral Prize recognizes outstanding performance by a doctoral student who graduated from a Canadian university. The Canadian Mathematical Society is delighted to award the 2005 Doctoral Prize to Dr. Vasilisa Shramchenko for her work on Frobenius manifolds associated with Hurwitz spaces of branched covers. The work is situated at the crossroads of many areas and disciplines, requiring deep and broad knowledge that she masterfully commands. The reviewers refer to her work as "a great surprise" and declare that the impact and originality of her contribution is "outstanding". She uses an analytical approach to objects of classical algebraic geometry that stems from classical theories and is enhanced by contemporary constructions. Besides providing a wealth of results, she poses important questions and problems, answers to which would further extend her "major breakthrough" in the area of Frobenius manifolds and would greatly enhance our understanding. She has already published several papers, with more accepted for publication. She clearly has an impressive career ahead of her. Dr. Vasilisa Shramchenko received her Honours Diploma as a Mathematician and Mathematics teacher in 2000 from St. Petersburg State University in the Department of Probability and Statistics. She pursued graduate studies in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Concordia University and completed her Ph.D. under the direction of Professor Dmitry Korotkin in October 2004. Her thesis was entitled "Frobenius Structures, Integrable Systems, and Hurwitz Spaces". Dr. Vasilisa Shramchenko will present the 2005 Doctoral Prize Lecture at the CMS Winter Meeting, hosted by the University of Victoria in December 2005. For more information, contact: Dr. H.E.A.

EXCEPTIONNELLE DE LEURS RECHERCHES La Soci?t? math?matique du Canada (SMC) a d?cern? le prix Krieger-Nelson 2006 ? Penny Haxell (Waterloo), le prix Jeffery-Williams 2006 ? Andrew Granville (Montr?al), le prix Coxeter-James 2005 ? Robert McCann (Toronto) et le Prix de doctorat de la SMC 2005 ? Vasilisa Shramchenko (Concordia). *********************************************************************** Prix Krieger-Nelson 2006 de la SMC : Mme Penny Haxell (Universit? de Waterloo) *********************************************************************** Le prix Krieger-Nelson rend hommage aux math?maticiennes qui se sont distingu?es par l'excellence de leur contribution ? la recherche math?matique. Penny E. Haxell s'int?resse ? la combinatoire et ? la th?orie des graphes, et se concentre en particulier sur les probl?mes extr?maux. Elle a obtenu des r?sultats tr?s int?ressants en utilisant d'une mani?re fascinante des instruments combinatoires, probabilistes et, plus r?cemment, des instruments topologiques. L'ensemble de ses travaux se d?marque par la puissance impressionnante de leur auteure, son originalit? et ses aptitudes techniques. Son travail de pionni?re est reconnu mondialement. Les travaux qu'elle a r?alis?s en 1995 avec Kohayakawa et Luczak ont men? ? une ?tude approfondie du Lemme de Szemeredi's dans un arrangement clairesem?, dont les m?thodes sont encore reprises et perfectionn?es par d'autres. Peu apr?s, elle a formul? une preuve ing?nieuse d'une conjecture d'Aharoni. Ces travaux ont men? ? une collaboration dont le point culminant a ?t? un tr?s bel et retentissant article appliquant des m?thodes topologiques pour donner une condition suffisante simple pour un syst?me de graphes repr?sentatifs distincts dans une famille d'hypergraphes. Ces travaux ont d?j? d?bouch? sur de multiples applications. Le th?or?me Haxell-R?dl, publi? en 2001, affirme qu'un plongement partiel optimal d'un graphe dans un autre peut ?tre converti en plongement r?el qui est plus ou moins aussi bon. Il peut faciliter la preuve d'un r?sultat de stabilit?, ou de structuration, sans recourir ? l'utilisation d'un th?or?me extr?mal existant, permettant peut-?tre de r?cup?rer le th?or?me extr?mal lui-m?me. Cette toute nouvelle orientation de recherche pr?sente un grand potentiel et semble tr?s prometteuse. Dans l'un de ses derniers articles, elle prouve que le nombre chromatique fort du graphe correspond ? au plus trois fois le degr? maximal. Dans ce cr?neau, les r?sultats obtenus par Alon il y a dix ans ?taient ce qui se faisait de mieux. Par contre, Alon avait adopt? une d?marche probabiliste, tandis qu'Haxell propose une d?monstration attrayante de la th?orie des graphes traditionnelle. Mme Haxell a obtenu son baccalaur?at avec sp?cialisation en math?matiques de l'Universit? de Waterloo en 1988 et a re?u la m?daille d'or de l'association des anciens de cette universit? pour la moyenne la plus ?lev?e de la Facult? de math?matiques. Elle a obtenu son doctorat de l'Universit? de Cambridge, sous la direction de Bela Bollobas, en 1993. Elle est membre du D?partement de combinatoire et d'optimisation de Waterloo depuis 1993, o? elle est devenue professeure titulaire en 2004. En 2002, elle a ?t? professeure invit?e aux laboratoires Bell (Lucent Technologies), au New Jersey. Elle a ?t? professeure-boursi?re du CRSNG de 1993 ? 1998 et a obtenu la Bourse du premier ministre de l'Ontario pour l'excellence en recherche de 2001 ? 2006. Mme Haxell est r?dactrice g?rante du Journal of Combinatorial Theory (Series B), reconnu comme la meilleure revue du domaine. Elle participe aussi activement ? l'organisation de congr?s et de s?minaires internationaux. De 1997 ? 2001, elle a si?g? au Conseil d'administration de la Soci?t? math?matique du Canada. Penny Haxell prononcera la conf?rence du prix Krieger-Nelson 2006 ? la R?union d'?t? de la SMC, qui se tiendra ? l'Universit? de Calgary en juin 2006. *********************************************************************** Prix Jeffery-Williams 2006 de la SMC : M. Andrew Granville (Universit? de Montr?al) *********************************************************************** Le prix Jeffery-Williams rend hommage aux math?maticiens ayant fait une contribution exceptionnelle ? la recherche math?matique. Andrew Granville est une sommit? mondiale de la th?orie analytique des nombres. Il a contribu? ? plusieurs domaines de la th?orie des nombres, et il a laiss? sa marque dans chaque cas, en obtenant des r?sultats ?tonnants et en proposant des solutions impressionnantes ? des probl?mes de longue date. Entre autres travaux exceptionnels, mentionnons la preuve qu'il a formul?e avec Alford et Pomerance de l'infinit? des nombres de Carmichael, qui a comme importante incidence pratique, que beaucoup de tests commerciaux disponibles sur le march? donnent beaucoup de nombres compos?s comme premiers. Sans oublier les articles publi?s en collaboration avec Friedlander, et tout r?cemment avec Soundararajan, sur les irr?gularit?s de la distribution des nombres premiers et, plus g?n?ralement, des s?quences arithm?tiques dans les progressions arithm?tiques; ses travaux avec Bombieri et Pintz sur les carr?s dans les progressions arithm?tiques; ses s?ries d'articles avec Soundararajan sur les distributions de caract?res et de sommes exponentielles, et un article int?ressant en collaboration avec Stark sur la conjecture abc et les z?ro de Siegel des L-fonctions de corps quadratiques imaginaires. Ces articles constituent des perc?es importantes et des progr?s fondamentaux en th?orie analytique des nombres. De fait, ils ont paru dans les meilleures revues math?matiques. M. Granville a en outre ?t? invit? comme conf?rencier au Congr?s international des math?maticiens de Zurich, en 1994, en plus de recevoir de nombreux prix et distinctions. Excellent orateur, Andrew Granville est un conf?rencier tr?s sollicit?. Il sait expliquer des concepts et des faits math?matiques complexes d'une fa?on int?ressante et compr?hensible. On retrouve un exemple type de sa ma?trise de l'art de l'exposition dans son tout r?cent grand article intitul? " It is easy to determine whether a given integer is prime " publi? dans le Bulletin de l'American Mathematical Society. La communaut? math?matique canadienne est extr?mement choy?e qu'Andrew Granville soit rentr? au Canada en 2002, o? il avait entrepris ses ?tudes sup?rieures et obtenu une bourse de recherche. Durant son s?jour ? l'?tranger, il a conserv? des liens ?troits avec le pays en organisant des s?ances pour le CRSNG, l'Institut Fields et l'Association canadienne de th?orie des nombres. Andrew Granville a obtenu son baccalaur?at ?s arts (avec sp?cialisation) en 1983 ainsi qu'un certificat d'?tudes sup?rieures (avec mention) en 1984 au Trinity College (Cambridge). Il a ensuite poursuivi ses ?tudes ? l'Universit? Queen's, o? il a termin? son doctorat en 1987 sous la direction de Paulo Ribenboim (il avait d?j? obtenu certains des meilleurs r?sultats sur le dernier th?or?me de Fermat connus ? ce jour). Il a re?u une bourse postdoctorale de l'Universit? de Toronto (1987-1989) et il a ?t? membre de l' Institute for Advanced Study-Princeton (1989-1991). En 1991, il a accept? un poste de professeur associ? ? l'Universit? de G?orgie, o? est devenu professeur agr?g? en 1993, puis professeur titulaire et titulaire de la chaire de math?matiques David C. Barrow en 1995. En 2002, il est revenu au Canada, acceptant une Chaire de recherche du Canada ? l'Universit? de Montr?al. Au nombre de ses distinctions, mentionnons la bourse de recherche Alfred P. Sloan (1992-1995), la Presidential Faculty Fellowship (d?cern?e par le pr?sident Clinton) de 1994 ? 1999, le prix Hasse 1995 de la Mathematical Association of America et le prix Ribenboim 1999 de l'Association canadienne de th?orie des nombres. Il a si?g? ? plusieurs comit?s du CRSNG : Comit? de s?lection des subventions (1995-1998), sous-comit? de l'adh?sion (1996-1997) et sous-comit? de l'informatique (1997-1998). Pour la National Science Foundation (NSF), aux ?tats-Unis, il a si?g? aux comit?s CAREER (1996) et POWRE en 2000, et au " comit? des visiteurs " en 2001. Andrew Granville a ?galement si?g? au Conseil des comit?s de r?daction de l'AMS (1996-1999), au Comit? d'organisation du programme du congr?s de l'AMS (1998-2000) - dont il a ?t? pr?sident de 1999 ? 2000 - et il est actuellement membre du Comit? de recherche de la SMC. Il a de plus si?g? au comit? de r?daction d'une bonne dizaine d'autres revues. Il a dirig? de nombreux ?tudiants aux cycles sup?rieurs et boursiers postdoctoraux. Andrew Granville prononcera la conf?rence Jeffery-Williams 2006 ? la R?union d'?t? de la SMC, qui se tiendra ? l'Universit? de Calgary en juin 2006. *********************************************************************** Prix Coxeter-James 2005 de la SMC : M. Robert McCann (Universit? de Toronto) *********************************************************************** 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. Les examinateurs ont dit de Robert McCann qu'il ?tait un " math?maticien cr?atif, r?fl?chi et dynamique ". Depuis la fin de ses ?tudes ? Princeton il y a dix ans, il est devenu l'une des figures dominantes du domaine du transport optimal et de ses nombreuses applications. Ses travaux sont un m?lange de math?matiques tr?s " pures " et rigoureuses, et de nouvelles applications en reconnaissance d'image, en sch?mas de d?placement n?buleux atmosph?rique et en th?orie cin?tique des mat?riaux granulaires. Il est consid?r? comme l'un des analystes-g?om?tres les plus novateurs de sa g?n?ration. Dans sa th?se d?pos?e ? Princeton en 1994, Robert McCann a introduit une technique d'interpolation extr?mement originale en calcul des variations bas? sur la factorisation polaire de champs de vecteurs de Y. Bernier. Au cours des derni?res ann?es, ses perc?es ont motiv? les recherches sur les in?galit?s fondamentales de la physique math?matique et de la g?om?trie. Il est en outre ? l'avant-plan des progr?s r?alis?s dans la th?orie du transport de masse de Monge-Kantorovich. Ses travaux en collaboration avec Caffarelli et Feldman utilisent la th?orie et l'analyse de la mesure g?om?trique pour contribuer ? la r?solution du probl?me initial de transport pos? par Monge il y a plus de 200 ans et qui demeure non r?solu. Ces derni?res ann?es, il a aussi collabor? avec de nombreuses autres personnes ? toutes sortes de probl?mes connexes, motiv? par des probl?mes appliqu?s en traitement de l'image, en ?conomie math?matique et en m?t?orologie. Une enqu?te exhaustive qui documente ses contributions cl?s se trouve dans le dernier ouvrage de C. Villani sur le transport optimal. Robert McCann a obtenu son baccalaur?at ?s sciences de l'Universit? Queen's en 1989 et son doctorat de Princeton en 1994. Il a ?t? titulaire de la chaire de professeur associ? Tamarkin ? l'Universit? Brown de 1994 ? 1998, il a re?u une bourse de recherche du CRSNG de 1994 ? 1996 ainsi que la bourse de recherche Centennial de l'American Mathematical Society de 1996 ? 1998. Il est arriv? ? l'Universit? de Toronto ? titre de professeur agr?g? en 1998 et il est devenu professeur titulaire en 2004. Il a re?u le prix Monroe H. Martin de math?matiques appliqu?es en 2001. Avec Caffarelli, Evans, Feldman et Gangbo, il a en outre d?croch? deux subventions de recherche cibl?e de la National Science Foundation (2000 - 2007). Robert McCann prononcera la conf?rence Coxeter-James 2005 ? la R?union d'hiver de la SMC qui se tiendra ? l'Universit? de Victoria en d?cembre 2005. *********************************************************************** Prix de doctorat de la SMC 2005 - Mme Vasilisa Shramchenko (Universit?

In the case of Study 13, the book ought to appear before the end of this year. (A mock-up copy should be available at the EARCOME-3 conference --- see below.) ** ICMI Study 15 The Study Conference was held last week in Aguas de Lind?ia, Brazil, and was attended by 157 participants (including 94 women) from 33 countries. This was the largest Study Conference organized to date. ** ICMI Study 16 The 16th ICMI Study is devoted to the theme "Challenging Mathematics in and beyond the Classroom". The International Programme Committee is currently reviewing proposals of contributions, WHICH MUST BE RECEIVED AT THE LATEST BY AUGUST 31. The Document Document can be accessed (in various languages) at http://www.amt.edu.au/icmis16.html Invitations to the Study conference will be issued no later than January 31, 2006, with the conference taking place in Trondheim, Norway, from June 27 to July 3, 2006. ** ICMI Study 17 This theme of this Study is "Digital Technologies and Mathematics Teaching and Learning: Rethinking the Terrain". The Discussion Document ought to be issued in a very near future. ** Future Studies During its coming meeting, next month, the ICMI Executive Committee expects to launch two new Studies, on "Proof and proving in mathematics education" and on the "Teaching and learning of statistics". Comments on these (or on other topics for ICMI Studies) are most welcome. In particular, I would be grateful for SUGGESTIONS OF MEMBERS for the two international programme committees in charge of the two studies I just mentioned. When making a suggestion, please provide me with a few brief credentials about the individuals you are proposing.

OTTAWA, Ontario Six of Canada?s best high school mathematics students have been chosen to represent their country at the 46th International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO). The IMO is the world championship mathematics competition for high school students and is being held this year in M?rida, Mexico from July 8 to July 19, 2005. ?The six students have demonstrated the exceptional problem solving skills, understanding and creativity that is so necessary to compete against the very best at the international level,? said Dr. Graham Wright, Executive Director of the Canadian Mathematical Society, the organization responsible for the selection and training of Canada?s IMO team. ?They represent the best of our students and will be excellent ambassadors for Canada?. The six students - Lin Fei, Don Mills Collegiate Institute, Toronto (Ontario); Elyot Grant, Cameron Heights Collegiate Institute, Kitchener (Ontario); Yang (Richard) Peng, Vaughan Road Academy, Toronto (Ontario); Dong Uk (David) Rhee, McNally High School, Edmonton (Alberta); Peng Shi, Sir John A. MacDonald Collegiate Institute. Toronto (Ontario); and Yufei Zhao, Don Mills Collegiate Institute, Toronto (Ontario) -- were selected from among more than 200,000 students in grades 7 to 12 (plus CEGEP) who participated in local, provincial and national mathematics contests. The Canadian team members, who must be less than 20 years old when they write the IMO competition, will be pitting their skills against more than 450 of the world?s best students from over 80 countries. The IMO competition paper, which is set by an international jury of mathematicians, will be written on Wednesday, July 13 and Thursday, July 14 and the medals awarded on Monday, July 18. The contest consists of two exams, each consisting of three questions on each day with a time limit of four and one-half hours. ?It is a highly challenging mathematical "hexathlon" and these are our Canadian mathletes,? commented Wright. The team will be accompanied by the Team Leader, Dr. Felix Recio (University of Toronto), and the Deputy Team Leader, Dr. Dorette Pronk (Dalhousie University). Canada first sent a team to an IMO competition in 1981 (Washington, USA). Since then, Canadian students have done very well, receiving a total of 15 gold, 27 silver, and 55 bronze medals. At last year?s IMO in Athens, (Greece), the Canadian team tied for 21st out of the 82 competing countries and won five medals. "These competitions allow Canadian high school students to compare their results with the best of those in other countries," said Dr. George Bluman, University of British Columbia and Chair of the CMS Mathematical Competitions Committee. "It should be noted that Canadian students do very well even though in many countries high school finishes at age 19." The six students will be attending a special IMO Training Camp at the University of Calgary and the Banff International Research Station from June 25 to July 10 and an IMO Team Send-off Luncheon will be held on June 28 at 1: PM. The media can meet the team at 12:00 noon on June 28 at the Learning Commons, Biological Sciences Building, University of Calgary. The team will leave for Mexico on July 10 and will return to Canada on July 19.

Competing against students from 90 other countries, Canadian high school students have done extremely well winning one Gold Medal, two silver, and two Bronze Medals at the 46th International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) M?rida, Mexico, from July 8 -19, 2005. The six students who competed for Canada were: Lin Fei, Don Mills Collegiate Institute, Toronto (Ontario); Elyot Grant, Cameron Heights Collegiate Institute, Kitchener (Ontario); Yang (Richard) Peng, Vaughan Road Academy, Toronto (Ontario); Dong Uk (David) Rhee, McNally High School, Edmonton (Alberta); Peng Shi, Sir John A. MacDonald Collegiate Institute, Toronto (Ontario); and Yufei Zhao, Don Mills Collegiate Institute, Toronto (Ontario). The team was accompanied by the Team Leader, Dr. Felix Recio (University of Toronto), the Deputy Team Leader, Dr. Dorette Pronk (Dalhousie University), and the Deputy Leader Observer, Mr. Adrian Tang (University of Calgary). Although the closing ceremony, scheduled for July 18th, had to be cancelled due to Hurricane Emily, a Gold Medal was awarded to Yufei Zhao; Silver Medals to Yang (Richard) Peng and Peng Shi, and Bronze Medals to Elyot Grant and Donk Uk (David) Rhee. "Our young team performed exceptionally well in the competition and were excellent ambassadors for Canada in dealing with the conditions from Hurricane Emily. I am very proud of all of them," said Dr. Recio. "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 19th out of 91 competing countries with a score of 132. Since 1981, Canadian students have received a total of 16 gold, 29 silver, and 57 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 46th IMO, the team trained at the University of Calgary and at the Banff International Research Station (BIRS) from June 25th to July 10th, 2005. The 2005 IMO contest was set by an international jury of mathematicians, one from each country, and was written on Wednesday July 13th and Thursday July 14th. On each day of the contest, three questions had to be solved within a time limit of four and one-half hours. Team members must be less than 20 years old when they write the IMO. The top 10 teams and their scores are: China (235); USA (213); Russia (212); Iran (201); Korea (200); Romania (191); Taiwan (190); Japan (188); Hungary (181); Ukraine (181). The team will be returning to Canada today (July 19th), arriving at Pearson International Airport (Terminal 1) on Air Canada flight 992 at 7:40 PM. Sponsors of the 2005 Canadian IMO team include: the Canadian Mathematical Society; NSERC PromoScience; the Ontario Ministry of Education; Alberta Learning; Nova Scotia Department of Education; the Newfoundland and Labrador Ministry of Education; the Quebec Ministry of Education; the Northwest Territories Ministry of Education; the Saskatchewan Ministry of Education; Sun Life Financial; the Samuel Beatty Fund; Maplesoft; Centre de recherches math?matiques; the Fields Institute; the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences; the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Calgary; the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, University of New Brunswick at Fredericton; the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Ottawa; le d?partement de math?matiques, Universit? du Qu?bec ?

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 tends 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, 2005.

Robinson Prize. The awards will be presented at the CMS 2005 Winter Meeting Banquet on December 11th at the Empress Hotel, Victoria, British Columbia. **************************************************************** CMS 2005 Adrien Pouliot Award - Dr. Katherine Heinrich, University of Regina **************************************************************** The Adrien Pouliot Award is for individuals, or teams of individuals, who have made significant and sustained contributions to mathematics education in Canada The most significant achievement of Kathy Heinrich in the area of mathematics education is the idea for a Canadian Mathematics Education Forum as a venue for people interested in mathematics education at all levels: mathematicians, math educators, teachers of mathematics from every level, representatives of school boards, ministries of education, industry, and parents, to meet and talk together about issues of common interest. The first Forum, held in Qubec City in 1995, set the stage for many activities that followed. In British Columbia, Forum participants organized the BC Mini-forum for Education in Mathematics (December 1995). This event led to the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences "Changing the Culture" annual conference which, for the past eight years, has brought together people interested in math education. In Ontario, the spirit of the 1995 Forum is continued with the Fields Institute Mathematics Education Forum. In 2001, the Canadian Mathematical Society revived Kathy Heinrich's Forum concept. The second Forum took place in Montral (hosted by UQAM) in May 2003 and the third Forum (hosted by the Fields Institute) was held in May 2005. Many new initiatives have grown out of these Fora. A new Canada-wide teachers' organization is being created and Canadian indigenous people are becoming partners in the discussions on mathematics education. These Fora are on the verge of becoming an institution. The inspiration for the 1995 Forum arose from Kathy Heinrich's significant involvement in mathematics education and the promotion of mathematics. In 1982 she organized the first Mathematics Enrichment Conference for grade 11 students at Simon Fraser University. This three-day event, which continued annually for the next 15 years, provided inspiration to generations of British Columbia students. Kathy Heinrich was a co-organizer of "Women Do Math" (later renamed "Discover the Possibilities"), a mathematics conference designed to reach girls in grades 9 and 10 and a co-organizer of "Math in the Malls", a series of displays with hands-on activities, organized in several Vancouver area shopping malls in the early 1990's. She took an active role in lobbying to have Mathematics as a category at Canada Wide Science Fairs. Her legacy of involvement in mathematics education continues to be felt across the country. Dr. Katherine Heinrich received her Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of Newcastle, Australia, in 1979. In 1981, she joined the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Simon Fraser University as an Assistant Professor on a Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) University Research Fellowship. She was promoted to the rank of Professor in 1987 and, from 1991-1996, was Chair of the Department. From 1999, she has held the position of Vice-President (Academic) at the University of Regina. During the last several years Kathy Heinrich has served as a member of the Interim Governing Council of the University of Northern British Columbia, the Board of Governors of Simon Fraser University, the Youth Science Foundation of Canada and the Canadian Mathematical Society. She was President of the Canadian Mathematical Society from 1996 to 1998. For six years she served as a member of the BC Science Council Awards Committee. Recently she was a member of an NSERC Grant Selection Committee and the National Killam Selection Committee. She is currently a member of the NSERC Council. In 1995, she was awarded both the Vancouver YWCA Woman of Distinction Award in Education, Training and Development and the University of Newcastle Gold Medal for Professional Excellence. Her research interests include graph factoring problems, the design and application of Latin squares and more generally the "mathematics of arrangements" that enable the construction of computer networks, scheduling of tournaments and secure transmission of information. **************************************************************** CMS 2005 G. de B. Robinson Prize - Dr. Yu-Ru Liu, University of Waterloo **************************************************************** 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 2005 G. de B. Robinson Award is awarded to Dr. Yu-Ru Liu, University of Waterloo, for her two papers entitled "A Generalization of the Turan Theorem and its Applications", and "A Generalization of the Erdos-Kac Theorem and its Applications" which were published in the Canadian Mathematical Bulletin in 2004. A classical theorem of Hardy and Ramanujan states that the normal number of prime divisors of a natural number n is log log n. Their difficult proof was simplified by Turan in 1934 and was subsequently amplified by Erdos and Kac in their monumental creation of probabilistic number theory. In her two papers, Liu shows that the theorems of Turan, as well as the subsequent generalizations by Erdos and Kac, apply to a wider geometric context. Most notable is the application to the study of points on varieties over finite fields. The papers represent an elegant melange of probability theory, analytic number theory and algebraic geometry. Dr. Yu-Ru Liu obtained her Bachelors degree from McGill University in 1997 and she completed her Masters degree at Queen's University in 1998. Under the direction of Barry Mazur, she completed her doctoral work at Harvard University in 2003. The two papers which appeared in the Canadian Mathematical Bulletin in 2004 are based upon her doctoral thesis. Dr. Liu currently holds a University Faculty Award at the University of Waterloo.

Le premier Forum, tenu ? Qu?bec en 1995, a donn? le coup d'envoi ? de nombreuses autres activit?s. En Colombie-Britannique, les personnes qui avaient particip? ? ce Forum ont organis? un mini-forum sur le m?me th?me en d?cembre 1995. Suite ? cette activit?, l'Institut du Pacifique pour les sciences math?matiques a organis? un congr?s annuel sur le th?me ??Changer la culture?? qui, depuis huit ans, r?unit des personnes qui s'int?ressent ? l'?ducation math?matique. En Ontario, l'esprit du Forum de 1995 se transpose dans le Forum sur l'enseignement des math?matiques de l'Institut Fields. En 2001, la Soci?t? math?matique du Canada a repris le concept de forum propos? par Kathy Heinrich. Le second Forum s'est donc tenu ? Montr?al (? l'UQAM) en mai 2003, et le troisi?me, ? l'Institut Fields, en mai 2005. Un grand nombre d'autres activit?s ont d?coul? de ces forums. Une nouvelle association pancanadienne d'enseignants a ?t? cr??e, et des autochtones du Canada prennent part aux discussions sur l'enseignement des math?matiques. Ces forums sont pratiquement devenus une institution. L'id?e du Forum de 1995 ?tait une suite logique de tout ce que Kathy Heinrich a fait pour l'?ducation math?matique et la promotion des math?matiques. En 1982, elle a organis? le premier congr?s sur l'enrichissement math?matique pour les ?l?ves de 11e?ann?e ? l'Universit? Simon Fraser. Ce congr?s de trois jours, qui s'est tenu chaque ann?e par la suite pendant 15 ans, a ?t? une source d'inspiration pour des g?n?rations d'?l?ves britanno-colombiens. Kathy Heinrich a aussi particip? ? l'organisation d'un congr?s appel? Women Do Math (renomm? Discover the Possibilities), congr?s visant l'int?gration des filles de 9e et de 10e ann?e, ainsi qu'une s?rie d'expositions d'activit?s interactives connue sous le nom de ??Pleins feux sur les math?matiques??, dans plusieurs centres commerciaux de Vancouver au d?but des ann?es 1990. Elle a beaucoup insist? pour faire reconna?tre les math?matiques comme cat?gorie ? l'Expo-sciences pancanadiennes. Sa contribution soutenue ? l'?ducation math?! matique se fait toujours sentir dans l'ensemble du pays. Katherine Heinrich a re?u son doctorat en math?matiques de l'Universit? de Newcastle (Australie) en 1979. En 1981, elle est entr?e au D?partement de math?matiques et de statistique de l'Universit? Simon Fraser comme professeure associ?e gr?ce ? une bourse de recherche du Conseil de recherches en sciences naturelles et en g?nie du Canada (CRSNG). Elle est devenue professeure titulaire en1987 et elle a dirig? le d?partement de 1991 ? 1996. Depuis 1999, elle est vice-rectrice aux ?tudes ? l'Universit? de Regina. Au cours des derni?res ann?es, Kathy Heinrich a ?t? membre du conseil d'administration int?rimaire de l'University of Northern British Columbia, du conseil des gouverneurs de l'Universit? Simon Fraser, de la Fondation sciences jeunesse Canada et de la Soci?t? math?matique du Canada, qu'elle a pr?sid?e de 1996 ? 1998. Elle a en outre ?t? membre du comit? des prix du conseil scientifique de la C.-B. pendant six ans. Derni?rement, elle a si?g? au comit? de s?lection des subventions du CRSNG et au comit? de s?lection national du prix Killam. Elle si?ge en ce moment au conseil d'administration du CRSNG. En 1995, elle a re?u le prix Femmes de m?rite du YWCA de Vancouver (?ducation, formation et d?veloppement) et la m?daille d'or pour excellence professionnelle de l'Universit? de Newcastle. C?t? recherche, elle s'int?resse particuli?rement aux probl?mes de factorisation des graphes, ? la conception et ? l'application des carr?s latins et, plus g?n?ralement, aux ??math?matiques des arrangements?? qui permettent la construction de r?seaux informatiques, l'?tablissement d'horaires de tournois et les ?changes s?curis?s d'information. ********************************************************************** Prix G. de B. Robinson 2005 de la SMC - Mme Yu-Ru Liu, Universit? de Waterloo ********************************************************************** Le prix G. de B. Robinson rend hommage aux math?maticiens qui se sont distingu?s par l'excellence de leurs articles parus dans le Journal canadien de math?matiques et le Bulletin canadien de math?matiques, et vise ? encourager la pr?sentation d'articles de premi?re qualit? pour ces revues. Le prix G. de B. Robinson est d?cern? ? Yu-Ru Liu, University of Waterloo, pour ses articles intitul?s ??A Generalization of the Turan Theorem and its Applications?? et ??A Generalization of the Erdos-Kac Theorem and its Applications??, publi?s dans le Bulletin canadien de math?matiques en 2004. Selon un th?or?me classique de Hardy et Ramanujan, le nombre normal de diviseurs entiers d'un nombre naturel n est log log n. Leur preuve complexe a ?t? simplifi?e par Turan en 1934, puis amplifi?e par Erdos et Kac dans leur cr?ation monumentale?: la th?orie probabiliste des nombres. Dans ses deux articles, Mme?Liu montre que les th?or?mes de Turan, tout comme les g?n?ralisations subs?quentes d'Erdos et de Kac, s'appliquent ? un contexte g?om?trique plus ?tendu. Ils s'appliquent en particulier ? l'?tude de points, ? la conception et ? l'application des carr?s latins et, plus. Les articles sont un m?lange ?l?gant de th?orie des probabilit?s, de th?orie analytique des nombres et de g?om?trie alg?brique. Yu-Ru Liu a obtenu son baccalaur?at de l'Universit? McGill en 1997 et sa ma?trise de l'Universit? Queen's en 1998. Sous la direction de Barry Mazur, elle a termin? ses ?tudes doctorales ? Harvard en 2003. Les deux articles publi?s dans le Bulletin canadien de math?matiques en 2004 sont bas?s sur sa th?se de doctorat.

Consultation has been so far inadequate and I am asking our community and its institutions to immediately initiate a "Liaison Committee" to coordinate our response. This cannot wait till the Chairs meeting in November nor for the CMS meeting in December. Here are some of the "cataclysmic" changes, some background and my personal opinion on these issues. 1. The reallocations exercise --as we know it-- has been cancelled. "NSERC is now studying the possibility of devising a clearer, simpler process... The new process will most likely be driven by more easily measurable criteria, such as discipline dynamics (the variation over time in the number of researchers applying for funding in a given discipline) and possibly on the cost of research". 2. The 3 institutes (CRM, Fields and PIMS) and their funds will be moved to a --revised-- MFA envelope (Major Facilities Access) where they will compete with new (previously non-funded) proposals for institutes in other disciplines. 3. NSERC has postponed its decision on BIRS till the next MFA meeting in April 2006 (15 months after our proposal was submitted and a full year after the site visit). The Alberta government, the NSF and Mexico's CONACYT have already committed full funding for the next 5 years (See below). ======================================== Background: --------------- 1. While the "cost of research" for other disciplines can be directly measured in equipment, laboratories etc...our discipline's focus is different and our community-based institutes are part of the equation. Our other large-scale initiatives also need to be discussed: NPCDS and LSI etc... What I am advocating: ***The CRM, Fields and PIMS are as much part of the "Math Science envelope at NSERC" as the Math Sci. GSCs. This is a well defined term within the realm of the past re-allocation exercise. This linkage should remain and should be part of any new restructuring of the Research Grant envelopes. 2. The bulk of the Math institutes funding has been historically earned through specific hard and bold choices made by the Canadian mathematical community. When all other disciplines opted to roll-over their old discipline-linked infrastructure grants into their GSC budgets, Mathematics elected to keep the funds for the institutes. When most other disciplines were concentrating their requests on their respective GSCs budgets --through three consecutive reallocation exercises-- the Mathematics and Statistics community were making the hard choices in ear-marking some of their requests to the programmes of the institutes. --With the previous re-allocation exercise, the institutes could not lose more than 10% of their funding in any given 4-year cycle. In a competition where many new previously non-funded institutes will be applying, our institutes can lose up to 50% as early as 2007. What I am advocating: ***Should the institutes be forced to compete in 2007 within the proposed new MFA programme (MRR), then their current funds should be rolled-over into the Math GSCs budgets (and the NPCDS into the Stats GSC's) as soon as April 1, 2007. All institutes (old and new) will then compete on an equal footing for the MRR funds, wherever these funds will be coming from. 3. BIRS has already received full funding for 2006-2010 from the Alberta Government ($3,424,000), full funding from the National Science Foundation ($USD 2,641,500 to be coming directly to Canada-- which is a great precedent for this country) and a groundbreaking contribution from Mexico ($550,000). In contrast to the clear position and unwavering support of the other partners, the decision of NSERC has been postponed till April 2006. This position of NSERC --which is damaging to BIRS, to the efforts of our community, and to Canada's international image-- was directly linked to these restructuring plans. Yet these plans will not be ready for the 2006 competition, and BIRS is being forced to compete with at least two newly proposed institutes (PITP and origins) in an envelope that even NSERC staff acknowledges as not suitable for BIRS. What I am advocating: ***NSERC is to structure a new programme/envelope that deals with truly collaborative international projects such as BIRS--one that is flexible enough to react to international partnerships and to adapt appropriately to other countries timetables, evaluation procedures and their willingness to invest in scientific research on Canadian soil.

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 tends 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, 2005.
