The Montreal Math Circle is an enrichment program that offers an occasion for students interested in mathematics to solve challenging problems at their grade level. The circle aims at bringing pleasure and confidence in children while doing mathematics. The problems during each meeting will be centered around a specific topic. The instructor is bilingual and will accommodate students from both English and French instruction schools. For more information, please feel free to send an email at montrealmathclub@gmail.com.<br/><br/>The event will take place on Sundays.

The SARC is excited to host a Week of Wellness and Self-Care from November 28 to December 2. Part of supporting survivors and their allies in the community is through offering space and resources for self-care. Join us for a morning of arts and craft activities to connect and destress. Supplies will be provided for making love letters to survivors, survivor-centred colouring pages, a variety of painting prompts, or crafting your own creative items.
In 2019, The New Yorker ran a short piece entitled "The Men Who Still Love Fight Club" referencing the enduring legacy of the 1996 novel by Chuck Palahniuk and its 1999 film adaptation by David Fincher. Focused primarily on American society, the article fails to mention Fight Club's appeal to many in Europe and elsewhere who have also been attracted by its aggressive masculinism and critique of consumer lifestyles.
There are so many things, too many things, so what do we make of all them? Join us for Objets trouvés: Material Gatherings, an exhibition of ten student projects and panel discussions with the artist-researchers that will focus on new narratives addressing our interrelationships with material objects.
The problem of finding rational or integer solutions to polynomial equations is one of the oldest problems in mathematics and is one of the key driving forces in the development of Number Theory. In the last 15 years new methods were developed that can sometimes effectively solve this problem. These methods attempt to find the solutions inside the larger set of solutions of the same equation in the field of p-adic numbers as the vanishing set of some computable function. When these methods work they give the rational solutions to arbitrarily large p-adic precision, which usually suffices to rigorously recover the full set of solutions. I will survey the new methods, originating from the work of Kim and from the more recent work of Lawrence and Venkatesh. I will then explain my work with Muller and Srinivasan that uses a p-adic version of the notion of norms on line bundles and associated heights, as used for example in arithmetic dynamics, to give a new approach to some Kim type results.
Inspired by Ōta Shōgo's mesmerizing silent play "The Water Station" (Mizu no eki), we investigated how our personal histories, and in particular our relationships with our identities, can contribute to and influence our creative instincts.

The notion of a Bowley optimum (or Stackelberg equilibrium) has gained recent popularity as an equilibrium concept in reinsurance markets, but it assumes a monopolistic structure on the supply side. This is in contrast to reinsurance markets in which equilibrium pricing arises through strategic price competition between reinsurers. In this talk, I will discuss both market structures and argue that the notion of a Subgame Perfect Nash Equilibrium (SPNE) is the appropriate solution concept in the latter market setting. I will provide a characterization of equilibrium reinsurance contracts in each case, under fairly general assumptions about the preferences of market participants. Finally, I will discuss the Pareto-efficiency of equilibria and whether efficient allocations can be decentralized in each market structure. Specifically, Bowley-optimal contracts lead to Pareto-efficient allocations, but they make the insurer indifferent with the status quo. Moreover, only those Pareto-efficient contracts that make the insurer indifferent between suffering the loss and entering into the reinsurance contract are Bowley optimal. This is indicative of the limitations of Bowley optimality as an equilibrium concept. In the second market structure, equilibrium contracts induced by an SPNE result in Pareto-efficient allocations. Additionally, under mild conditions, the insurer realizes a strict welfare gain, which addresses the shortcomings of the Bowley setting and thereby ultimately reflects the benefit to the insurer of competition on the supply side.

This talk intends to argue that despite longitudinal evidence that mental disorders are also a result of the order of the world, so it is a political question, even so, the will to power of biomedical psychiatry intends to maintain the monopoly of the narrative, depoliticizing the life of the individuals with mental disorders.

A dirty, expensive city; present day(ish). A peculiar pandemic is blossoming. Public Health helplines are jammed with queries from the public about plants growing inside and outside of their bodies. Politicians are avoiding the bigger questions, vigilantes are fighting back at nature and a professor is in cahoots with a woodlouse because, why not?!
Subtitles in bold:<br/>A devised Performance Creation<br/>Directed by Jessica Carmichael<br/><br/>Grief: Shamed, Betrayed and Illuminated or: fuck �at least� how about: "Quel est ton tourment?"<br/>Part documentary, part fiction, part auto-poetical, part adaptation, this 6-credit creation will investigate, in the wake of recent world events, the ways we journey to disrupt, forget and perhaps confront ourselves to companion the immeasurable and personal loss of this lifetime and, from times immemorial. How do we truly companion each other inside loss? How do we look past fear, discomfort and shame and see another human being? <br/><br/>Using found texts, interviews, images, novels in the public realm, studies of the absurd, the cruel and more, students will collage together questions to be dramatized, explored, designed and embodied to find agency in a great time of community and personal grief.
Subtitle:<br/><br/>Spirale presents new works by and with first-year students.
