It is with heavy hearts that we bid farewell to a true visionary and leader, Ronald (Ron) Garth Dunkley, long time faculty member in the Faculty of Mathematics at the University of Waterloo, the founding director of the Centre for Education in Mathematics and Computing (CEMC), and the co-creator of the Canadian Mathematics Competition.
The Faculty of Mathematics helped save thousands of liters of water and hundreds of pounds of carbon this November through its “Meatless Math Mondays” campaign. The initiative, which aimed to increase environmental health and sustainability within the Faculty, encouraged students, staff, faculty, and post-docs to choose meatless options once a week to decrease their environmental impact.
Thanks to our three Giving Tuesday Challenge Champions, you can support Mathematics students today by making a donation of any amount and becoming one of the 20 donors needed to unlock the challenge champions’ gifts.
The Faculty of Mathematics is introducing a “Meatless Math Mondays” initiative this November to increase departmental sustainability and improve environmental wellness among students, faculty and staff.
Stephanie Whitney joined the Faculty of Mathematics this summer as the Director of Research and Innovation Partnerships. She works closely with Professor Charlie Clarke, the Faculty of Math’s Associate Dean of Innovation and Entrepreneurship, to raise research profiles, initiate and develop industry and government relationships, and secure funding to support student entrepreneurship.
As we dawn on the age of quantum computing and work to harness its power and potential, there is an inherited risk of new types of cyber attacks from these increasingly powerful computers.
Any computer scientist 70 or more years of age today knows almost every other computer scientist of those same ages, as few were in the discipline during its fledgling days. One such individual from that era is Daniel Berry, a professor in the Software Engineering group at the Cheriton School of Computer Science.
Anita Layton, Professor of Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, Pharmacy and Biology has been named a Fellow of the Canadian Mathematical Society (CMS). The fellowship is awarded for outstanding contributions in research, teaching and learning and service in fulfillment of CMS mandates and goals.
