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.

Mirror Symmetry Seminar
Elizabeth Cai, University of Waterloo
Mirror Symmetry Seminar: Isomorphism Between Small Analytical Neighborhoods of Points on (n − s − 1)-dim Stratum, Open Ball and Affine Toric Variety
In Batryrev's construction on dual polyhedra and mirror Symmetry for Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces in toric varieties, when he introduces regularity conditions for hypersurfaces, he proposes a theory implied by the definition of ∆-regular, in which sugguests that there exists an analytical isomorphism from small analytical neighbourhoods of points on a (n − s − 1)-dimensional stratum Zf,σ ⊂ Zf,Σ to products of a (s − 1)-dimensional open ball and a small analytical neighbourhood of the point pσ on the (n − s)-dimensional affine toric variety Aσ,N(σ). This theory and its corollaries help obtain a simultanious resolution of all members of the family F(∆).
MC 2017
Harmonic Analysis Learning Seminar
Annie Lafrance, University of Waterloo
Introduction to p-approximation property for locally compact groups
We will introduce the p-approximation property and show that if G has the p-approximation property, then the algebra of convoluters is the algebra of pseudomeasures.
