First Annual Meeting of the Prairie Network for Research in Mathematical Science
May 3 and 4, 2007
University of Regina
In cooperaton with Brandon University, University of Winnipeg, University of Manitoba, and the University of Saskatchewan
Announcement
This is the final announcement for an inaugural conference for a new Prairie Network
for Research in the Mathematical Sciences. The main objective of the
Network will be to help encourage and advance research in the mathematical
sciences in Manitoba and Saskatchewan. In addition to presentations on research
activity, the meeting will provide an opportunity for people at prairie
universities to meet face to face and discuss issues and initiatives related to the
Network. This proposal for a regional network has been vetted and encouraged by the
directors of PIMS and Fields.
