Upcoming information session - Feb 27 @ 5pm

We will be holding an information session at York University on

Date: Wednesday, February 27, 2013
Time: 5:00 p.m.
Place: N620 Ross
Light refreshments will be served

I would welcome any help advertising this event to teachers that might be interested. We have sent letters around to schools in the York region, but are not universally able to get everyone.

Here is a copy of the letter sent to schools.

Summer 2013 - Topics course = Combinatorics and Graph theory

Here is the course description for the topics course that will be offered Summer 2013.

Math 5510 3.0: Topics in Mathematics for Teachers

This course is an introduction to three areas in combinatorics - coding theory, design theory and graph theory. We will introduce various well known objects and problems in each of these areas such as Latin squares and Euler's Officer problem, system of distinct representatives and bipartite matching, Hadamard matrices, Steiner triple system and Kirkman Schoolgirl problem, projective planes, linear codes and Hamming codes. Through studying these objects, we will learn proof techniques and construction methods used in combinatorics. More importantly, we will see the interplay among these three beautiful areas in combinatorics.

This course will be offered by Ada Chan from Monday June 24 to Wednesday Aug 7
Monday and Wednesday evenings 6-9pm

Upcoming course offerings - Summer 2013 and Fall/Winter 2013-14

The course assignments are more or less finalized. I am sending out this announcement a little bit later this year because it took much longer than normal to establish precisely what we would be offering in the next year.
