All IAM members are encouraged to come. We also extend the invitation to any visitors with appropriate interests and any students of IAM members even if they are not yet IAM members themselves.

The spring is around the corner.  That means it is time for the annual Institute of Applied Mathematics spring retreat.  The retreat will be held on Friday, April 7th and will be held at beautiful Mount Seymour.  Transportation will be provided with two convenient pick-up and drop-off locations:  the Museum of Anthropology at 7 AM and Commercial Drive sky train station at 7:30 AM.   A return bus is provided with drop-off locations being the same and approximate drop-off time at Museum of Anthropology being 6 PM.  In addition to the wonderful mathematical presentations and discussions, it is customary for attendees to go on a hike.  This year the hike will be a snowshoeing tour (gear will be provided, but dress appropriately) and will feature two options – a more athletic and less athletic option.

Continually, all IAM students are encouraged to give a brief 5 or 10 minute talk on their research.  This gives everyone a chance to present their work and showcase the many fields represented within the IAM.  First year students are especially encouraged to give a talk even if research formally has not begun.
