"From 10% to 40% Female CS Majors: The Harvey Mudd College Story"

Talk abstract:

In 2006, much like at many other institutions, about 10% of HMC's Computer Science (CS) majors were female. At that time only a third of HMC's students were female, but CS was an aberration. About 20% of the Physics majors and close to 30% of the engineering majors were female. Four years later 40% of HMC's CS majors were female, exactly the same percentage as the whole HMC student body. This talk describes how the CS department accomplished this change.

Staff, students and faculty are invited to the Fourth Ontario Celebration of Women in Computing (ONCWIC), held at the University of Waterloo on November 8-9, 2013.

Water quality monitoring and assessment: a statistical perspective

The assessment of status and the detection and estimation of change are two fundamental issues which drive the development of environmental monitoring programs and the analysis of environmental data. Several challenges relevant to the analysis of existing water quality data and the design of new monitoring programs will be discussed.

Accelerated boundary integral simulations of particulate and two-phase flows

Title: Efficient methods for stochastic simulations of biochemical systems

We invite female undergraduate students studying mathematics or a related discipline at a Canadian university, with at least one year of studies remaining in their program, to learn more about this exciting opportunity.

Women in Math invites all women in the Faculty of  Mathematics to network with other students, staff and faculty!

For catering purposes registration is required!
