A true incubator for collaborations between companies and researchers, this workshop is part of a Canadian tradition to study real-world problems for which companies and public or parapublic organizations require solutions.
The Fields Institute in association with the Centre for Disease Modelling, AARMS, PIMS and the CRM
presents Café mathématique, a free public forum where anyone can learn how math underpins our understanding of the COVID-19 pandemic.
A new weekly Seminar Series (every Tuesday of the Summer at 10 am) starts on Tuesday June 23, 2020 at 10 am. To register, visit the new web page : CRM CAMP in Nonlinear Analysis
Creation of the CRM-ISM-AMQ award for an exceptional publication
It is our pleasure to announce the establishment of the CRM-ISM-AMQ Prize, to be awarded annually for an outstanding publication in the Annales mathématiques du Québec (AMQ) . The new prize has been created in collaboration between the Centre de recherches mathématiques, the Institut des sciences mathématiques (ISM) and the AMQ.
Awarding Rules: The prize is awarded at the end of each calendar year. To be eligible, the paper must be published in the AMQ during that or the previous year. The winning paper is selected by the Editorial Board; no nominations are required.
The monetary value of the prize is CAD $1000. For the first time, the prize will be awarded in December 2021 to one of the papers published in the years 2021 or 2020.
Created in 1935, the IMS is a professional and scholarly society of international repute fostering the development and dissemination of the theory and applications of statistics and probability; it has over 3500 active members. Each year, the IMS selects a class of Fellows who have demonstrated excellence in research or leadership in probability or statistics. This high distinction was awarded this year to 35 individuals, including professors Addario-Berry, Nešlehová, and three other Canadians. For a summary of their achievements and a complete list of the 2020 IMS Fellows.

The CRM-SSC Prize in Statistics is awarded annually by the Centre de recherches mathématiques (CRM) and the Statistical Society of Canada (SSC) in recognition of outstanding research carried out primarily in Canada by a statistician during the first fifteen years after completing a PhD. The 2020 recipient of this prize is Erica Moodie, William Dawson Scholar and Associate Professor in the Department of Epidemiology, Biostatistics, and Occupational Health at McGill University. | Read more
En avant math!
Twelve field initiative projects were selected following the first call.
Some of these will get started quickly.
You will find the list on the website En avant math !
En avant math!, an initiative for the promotion of mathematics at the national level launched by the CRM and CIRANO, offers over the weeks, traditional games from different periods of history and different countries:
- a brief history
- the rules of the game
- an analysis of these games in relation with mathematics
- questions you can ask the children you play with
Towards a dynamic model of 'dramatic' social change: news from PhysNum, the Numerical Physics laboratory of the CRM
The team of Roxane de la Sablonnière (Department of Psychology of the Université de Montréal) in collaboration with Jean-Marc Lina (École de technologie supérieure de Montréal), member of the CRM, recently received $ 350,000 from Canadian Institutes of Health Research to study the response of Canadians to the COVID-19 pandemic. They have developed a dynamic model of 'dramatic' social change. Data collection is underway and modeling of what is currently happening
Both classical and central to modern mathematics, mathematical analysis lies at the core of our understanding of any continuous system. The mathematical analysis laboratory has undertaken in-depth studies of dynamical systems, partial differential equations and spectra of operators.
The objective of CAMBAM (Center for Applied Mathematics in Bioscience and Medicine) is the application of mathematics to address biological challenges across all levels of biological organisation ranging from the molecular/genetic through single cell and whole organ physiology to population and ecosystem dynamics.
CICMA is an inter-university research center officially established in 1989. Its research activities are concentrated on number theory, arithmetic geometry, computational algebra and sporadic finite groups.
CIRGET is a joint force of researchers at the cutting-edge of international research in differential geometry, topology, geometric group theory and mathematical physics.
GIREF gathers researchers and research groups from several academic institutions in order to facilitate research, development, training of specialists and interaction with the industrial circles in the field of modeling an numeric simulation.
Founded in 1982, LaCIM is one of the principal research center in combinatorics, algebraic combinatorics and theoretical computer science on the international scene.
As a result of state-of-the-art computational resources, it has become possible to simulate problems and figure solutions that we only dreamed of a decade ago. This has been a driving force in the creation of this laboratory.
Mathematical physics represents one of the traditional strengths of the CRM since the beginning of the 1970's. Research focus on several of the most active scientific areas in mathematical physics.
Artificial intelligence and machine learning are dynamic and ever-expanding disciplines. The incorporation of MILA into the CRM will give the CRM a more important role within the so-called “digital strategy” of the Québec government.
The work of PhysNum is focused on cerebral imaging and its method. Started within a collaboration with INSERM (Hôpital Pitié-Salpêtrière) and the Institut universitaire de gériatrie de Montréal, this trend took shape during the study of reconstruction signals in magnetoencephalographic problems.
Probability lab members pursue research in a broad range of areas, spanning theoretical and applied, continuous and discrete probability. A particular focus is on the development and analysis of probabilistic models for real-world phenomena from physics, biology, statistics and computer science.
The Actuarial and Financial Mathematics Laboratory is an inter-university group of researchers focused on the mathematics of actuarial science and finance. Its research activities are concentrated on the applications of probabilistic and statistical techniques to analyze random events with financial impact.
Statistics is central to many endeavours in society. Whether it be through surveys from sampling, clinical trials to study various biomedical treatments or experimental designs in agriculture or industry, statistical methodology can be found everywhere in science. The statistics laboratory rallies a great number of statisticians from Eastern Canada.
