We are home to 30 faculty, four staff, approximately 60 graduate students, several research visitors, and numerous undergraduate students. We offer exciting and challenging programs leading to BMath, MMath and PhD degrees. We nurture a very active research environment and are intensely devoted to both ground-breaking research and excellent teaching.

MC 5417
Algebraic Geometry Working Seminar
Rahim Moosa, University of Waterloo
Model theory and the birational geometry of algebraic vector fields
I will try to illustrate how and why model theory (itself a branch of mathematical logic) can sometimes have something to say about algebraic geometry. I will focus on some results of mine (along with Jim Freitag and Remi Jaoui), from the last few years, on the birational geometry of algebraic vector fields.
MC 5479
Continuous Logic Learning Seminar
Joey Lakerdas-Gayle, University of Waterloo
Infinitary Continuous Logic II
We will prove a continuous analog of Scott's Isomorphism Theorem using the Scott analysis for metric structures developed by Ben Yaacov, Doucha, Nies, and Tsankov.
