About AARMS
AARMS was founded in March, 1996 at a time when the National Network for Research in the Mathematical Sciences was being discussed and planned. AARMS exists to encourage and advance research in mathematics, statistics, computer science, and mathematical sciences, in the Atlantic region. In addition, AARMS acts as a regional voice in discussions of the mathematical sciences on a national level. Since its inception, AARMS has played an important role in research activities in the Atlantic region, sponsoring or co-sponsoring numerous meetings and workshops. In the summer of 2002, AARMS initiated an annual Summer School for graduate students and promising undergraduates. Please write to us for information about the next AARMS Summer School.
AARMS is grateful to Canada's three mathematical institutes, the Centre de Recherches Mathématiques, the Fields Institute, and the Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences as well as the member universities below for providing funding for its activities.
Acadia University
Cape Breton University
Dalhousie University
Memorial University
Mount Allison University
Saint Francis Xavier University
Saint Mary's University
Université de Moncton
University of New Brunswick
University of Prince Edward Island
Important AARMS Bodies:
AARMS Distinguished Lecturers
The award "AARMS Distinguished Lecturer" was created in 2000 to recognize excellence in mathematics and its exposition. We are pleased to highlight past recipients of this award.
- Hans-Juergen Schneider, University of Munich - June 2009
- Neil Calkin, Clemson University, January - April 2007
- Barbara Lee Keyfitz, The Fields Institute and the University of Houston, October 2006
- Terry Rockafellar, University of Washington, October 2006
- Boju Jiang, Peking University, June 2004
- Robert J. Elliott, University of Calgary, August 2003
- Jianhong Wu, York University, July 2002
- Hal Smith, Arizona State University, August 2001
- Susan Montgomery, University of California, May 2001
AARMS Distinguished Lecturers visit a host AARMS institution for a week or more, offering lectures and seminars as well as offering an event at least one other AARMS institution. Decisions about this award are made by the AARMS executive and there are two potential awards each year.
AARMS Workshops
Please note: AARMS is no longer accepting proposals at all times throughout the year. Instead, there will be three calls for proposals each year. The next deadline for submission is listed below.
We encourage mathematicians in Atlantic Canada to suggest programmes or themes for future AARMS activities in the region (workshops, conferences, periods of specialization and exceptional opportunities) and to direct all applications for funding to the AARMS Administrator. Contact details can be found at the the bottom of the page. Proposals for short workshops with total requests for AARMS funding less than $5,000 are evaluated by the executive while more extensive proposals are referred to the Scientific Review Panel and responses will be given as quickly as possible. Proposals are usually expected to show a detailed program with a significant number of confirmed speakers. In general AARMS is not in a position to fund indefinite continuing activities. Successful applicants will be expected to produce a report on their event.
Next Deadline for submission: January 15, 2010
For more details see the Events Page.
The Atlantic Algebra Centre
The Atlantic Algebra Centre (AAC) is designed to use the traditional strength in Algebra at the Memorial University of Newfoundland to promote the research in this important area of Mathematics in the Atlantic Provinces of Canada. The AAC is co-funded by AARMS and Memorial University. Visit their website.
