November 25 - 27, 2009

Analysis of Directional Data with Applications to Biomechanics and Biomedical Imaging

This workshop explores statistical problems arising in experiments where the sample space is a non commutative Lie Group. It focuses on two specific areas, biomechanics and medical imaging.| Read more | Register


November 30 - December 3, 2009

First Bavaria-Quebec Mathematical Meeting

One of the goals of our meeting is to bring together mathematicians from Bavaria and Quebec sharing common mathematical interests. This times, our talks will be devoted to Complex Analysis in general, real and complex Approximation Theory and some topics on the Riemann Zeta function. | Read more


Luc Vinet Receives the Armand-Frappier Scientific Prize

The mathematician and physicist Luc Vinet has been presented with the Armand-Frappier Prize for the year 2009. This prize represents the highest award given by the Quebec Government to persons who have had an active research career and have contributed to the creation or development of research institutions or to the administration and promotion of research institutions.

Luc Vinet has had a lasting impact on academic life in Montreal and Quebec. He was director of the CRM (he still is a member) from 1993 to 1999, provost and vice-principal, research, of McGill University from 1999 to 2005 and rector of the Université de Montréal since 2005. He also has remained a highly active member of the mathematical physics community. |  Read more | Biography


Mathematical Problems in Imaging Science: From the Neuronal to the Quantum World - August - December 2009

During the last 20 years, biomedical and biomolecular imaging have played an increasing role as it becomes more and more accurate both in time and space. | Read more


Number Theory as Experimental and Applied Science - January - April 2010

The year 2010 marks the 50th anniversary of the publication of Eugene Wigner’s famous essay on the “unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics in the natural sciences”. | Read more


Geometric, Combinatorial and Computational Group Theory - July - December 2010

The 2010 Fall Semester will be devoted to developments in geometric, algorithmic, asymptotic group theory and applications. We will bring people from various branches of mathematics and computer science together to work on some open questions in the field from a fresh viewpoint. | Read More

CRM Laboratories

Mathematical Analysis
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.

CICMA
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
CIRGET is a joint force of researchers at the cutting-edge of international research in differential geometry, topology, geometric group theory and mathematical physics.

Founded in 1982, LaCIM is one of the principal research center in combinatorics, algebraic combinatorics and theoretical computer science on the international scene.

Applied Mathematics
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.

PhysNum
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.

Mathematical Physics
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.

Statistics
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.

Transdisciplinary Institute for Quantum Information
Quantum information is an emerging field of research, at the crossroads of mathematics, physics, computer science and chemistry. It could potentially bring about a fundamental revolution, not only in our way of processing information, but also in our way of understanding the world.

GIREF
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.
