OVERVIEW

The objective of the meeting is to gather researchers, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students from the Ontario/Quebec area working in various elds of discrete mathematics in order to stimulate research collaboration in this vibrant interdisciplinary area. The meeting takes place on Friday and Saturday to encourage participation of researchers from outside the Ottawa region. The invited speakers are known for their eloquence of presentation and excellence in research. They are chosen carefully to cover a broad range of topics and aspects of discrete mathematics.

The meeting consists of 5-6 invited talks and a session of contributed talks. The length of the meeting is extended to two full days and this year we are proposing to add a new focus for the Friday.

Invited Speakers

Catharine Baker, Mount Allison University
Jason Brown, Dalhousie University
Joseph Cheriyan, University of Waterloo
Gena Hahn, Université de Montréal
Penny Haxell, University of Waterloo
Rick Wilson, California Institute of Technology

Mathematical Connections

This year we are reserving the Friday morning for talks on the theme of "Mathematical Connections". These are talks whose level is suitable for high school students and the interested public which feature interesting or unusual connections of mathematics to other subjects and disciplines. To headline this session we are very pleased to have Jason Brown of Dalhousie University speak on connections between mathematics and music.

Contributed Talk

We will be accepting contributed talks in all areas of discrete mathematics as well as "Mathematical Connections" talks for the friday morning. Talk titles and abstracts can be sent to Brett Stevens brett(at)math.carleton.ca before 28 April.

Travel Support for postdoctoral fellows and graduate students

We will offer partial support to postdoctoral fellows and graduate students. Applications should be sent to Brett Stevens (brett(at)math.carleton.ca) before 28 April.

Canadian Tulip Festival

Discrete Mathematics Day attendees and family traveling with them may enjoy attending the Canadian Tulip Festival which is running at the same time as the conference and close to Carleton University's campus.

The Ottawa-Carleton Discrete Mathematics Days are the o spring of Carleton Discrete Mathematics Day, which began in 1978 and have been held continuously since 2002, supported
by the Fields Institute.

Since 2002, the Ottawa -- Carleton Discrete Mathematics Day has been held annually in the spring, alternating its location between Carleton University and the University of Ottawa. The meeting is an offspring of the Carleton Discrete Mathematics Days held in the past at Carleton University. (For more information on recent Discrete Mathematics Days please visit:
