Our Faculty & Their Research
MATHEMATICS:
As an undergraduate student, you have the rare opportunity to participate in research projects conducted by top researchers, using state-of-the-art facilities and equipment. These projects usually take place in the summer and provide opportunities for additional hands-on experience.
The department also hosts research-related activities, such as Colloquium Lecture Series, Number Theory and Combinatorics Seminars, and Optimization Research Group Seminars, all highlighting leading experts from other universities as guest speakers.
The department has also hosted high profile research conferences such as
Number Theory Day 2008,
Canadian Number Theory Association 2012 (CNTA XII),
Western Canada Linear Algebra Meeting (W-CLAM) 2012,
Algebraic Design Theory and Hadamard Matrices 2014 (ADTHM)
Alberta Mathematics Dialogue 2015 (AMD).
