Seminars and Colloquia

The Department of Mathematics and Statistics holds the following seminars and colloquia series regularly:

• Department Colloquium. Colloquia lectures are directed to mathematical scientists from all backgrounds with the purpose of providing an overview of a particular field of mathematical science, together with some of its recent advances. The Colloquium is usually held on Fridays at 3:30 p.m.
   
• PIMS Distinguished Lecture Series. The PIMS lectures are sponsored by the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences and are colloquium-style lectures presented by prominent Canadian and international mathematical scientists.
   
• H.N. Gupta Memorial Lecture.  This is an annual lecture series in memory of Professor Haraguari Naryan Gupta. 
   
• Prairie Mathematics Colloquium. This is a joint seminar series between the University of Regina, University of Saskatchewan and the University of Manitoba.
   
• Machine Learning Seminar.  The Machine Learning Seminar Series (MLSS) is a weekly seminar focusing on machine learning, artificial intelligence, and related areas. The seminar is open to both Math and CS departments and graduate students with an interest in ML/AI are especially encouraged to attend. We will primarily cover the mathematical theory of neural networks, but also discuss their implications for real-world applications, including advancements in healthcare, finance, and autonomous systems. 
   
• Operator Algebra Seminar. This seminar series is devoted to special topics in operator algebra and functional analysis. The lectures usually run over a course of several weeks and are technical in nature.
   
• Topology and Geometry Seminar.  This seminar series is devoted to selected topics in topology and geometry. The lectures are given weekly.
   
• Graduate Student Seminar. These lectures by MSc and PhD students form part of the formal requirements for the MSc and PhD degrees. All graduate students are particularly encouraged to attend.
   
• Honours Seminar. These lectures by undergraduate students form part of the formal requirements for the BSc Honours degree. All graduate and undergraduate students are particularly encouraged to attend.
