MathQuest - Math Camp for Girls

Math Quest Camp for Girls

August 19th-22nd, 2019

Math Quest is a mathematics camp for high school girls interested in math and science who have curiosity for exploring new ideas.  With a focus on problem solving, our hands-on activities are led by female mathematicians, statisticians and physicists.  Girls must be entering grade 9 or returning to high school for September 2019.  This residential camp includes all meals and 3 nights in residence (Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights) and has programing continuing into the evening.  Day campers are also welcome and attend from 9:30 am to 4:30 pm each day. Snacks and materials are provided including a different CMS math camp t-shirt each summer. A limited number of bursaries are available to assist campers with financial need.

Nonlocal problems in PDEs and geometry

May 20-24, 2019

Prof. Eleonora Cinti (Università di Bologna, Italy) will teach a 5-day mini-course aimed at graduate students and junior researchers at the intersection of Analysis and Geometry.

Dr. Cinti earned her Ph.D in 2010 and since then has worked at the Max Planck Institute in Leipzig, the Weierstrass Institute in Berlin, and various Italian universities (Pavia, Bologna, Torino). Eleonora Cinti's research focuses on nonlocal partial differential equations, geometric measure theory, and calculus of variations.

Schedule

The mini-course will be structured as follows:

  • Lecture 1 (Monday, May 20): Preliminaries: basic facts about the Laplacian and harmonic functions.
  • Lecture 2 (Tuesday, May 21): The fractional Laplacians: motivations and properties.
  • Problem Session (Wednesday, May 22).
  • Lecture 3 (Thursday, May 23): $s$-Harmonic functions and the Caffarelli-Silvestre extension theorem.
  • Lecture 4 (Friday, May 24): Geometry meets PDEs, a nonlocal phase transition model and nonlocal minimal surfaces.

Registration

If you want to attend the mini-course, please email nonlocal19@queensu.ca.
