Overview

The Coast Combinatorics Conferences are low-key meetings that welcome 30-minute (or so) talks on any topic in discrete mathematics and/or theoretical computer science.  They are informal and largely "self-serve", meaning that there is no registration fee, no main speaker, and you may be on your own for coffee etc. at a nearby cafe.  Sometimes you may even need to introduce yourself when it is your time to speak.
Everyone is welcome to attend the CCC.  Please let us know if you are coming by sending email to Gary MacGillivray:  gmacgill at UVic dot ca.  It makes planning easier.
We are in the process of arranging a lunch booking for Saturday, a social event (happy hour) for Saturday evening.  Details are not available yet.
Confirmed Speakers (so far)
Andrei Bulatov (Simon Fraser)
Patrick Fowler (University of Sheffield)
Leslie Hogben (Iowa State University and American Institute of Mathematics)
Sean McGuinness (Thompson Rivers)
Bojan Mohar (Simon Fraser)
Richard Nowakowski (Dalhousie)Farzaneh Piri (Semnan University)
Hal Sudborough (University of Texas at Dallas)
   Boting Yang (Regina)

Schedule and Abstracts

Coming soon
Please don't hesitate to ask if any information is required.  We are pleased to suggest hotels or travel options.  Contact info is in the Overview.

Conference announcement: FQ15 13-17 June 2022, Aubervilliers, France

 https://fq15.telecom-paris.fr/ International Conference on Finite Fields and Their Applications 2022 (Fq15) The conference  Fq15  will take place at Campus Condorcet, Aubervilliers, France (on line 12 of the Paris metro, at one station from the limit of Paris) during the week of June 13-17, 2022. Fq15  will continue the 30-year-old tradition of a forum for researchers on the mathematical aspects of finite fields and their applications.  Scientific Scope Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Theory: structure of finite fields, primitive elements, normal bases, polynomials, number-theoretic aspects of finite fields, character sums, function fields, planar functions and almost perfect nonlinear functions, equations over finite fields. Computation: algorithms and complexity, polynomial factorization, decomposition, and irreducibility testing, sequences and functions. Applications: algebraic coding theory, cryptography, algebraic geometry over finite f...

The award recognizes excellent research by fellows or associate fellows of the ICA early in their research careers.  “She is a leader in her profession, distinguishing herself in organizing conferences, mathematical outreach and teaching excellence,” said the ICA in a release. Huggan joined VIU in August 2022. She completed her PhD in 2019 at Dalhousie University and was a Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada post-doctoral fellow at Toronto Metropolitan University from 2019 to 2021. She was an Atlantic Association for Research in the Mathematical Sciences post-doctoral fellow at Mount Allison University from 2021 to 2022. Huggan’s research examines pursuit-evasion game...
