Outreach:

  • Here is a bundle of activities and games connected with the triangle decomposition problem on graphs.
  • Here's a video exploring a dice switching game communicated to me by Richard Nowakowski. I think it has a really cool inductive solution!
  • Here's a video on generating random latin squares, using a method of 'improper trades' due to Jacobson and Mathews.
  • In March 2020, I organized an IdeaFest talk and activity session on latin square completion.

    Undergraduate Mathematics Competitions:

  • The UVic Math Competition is held annually in early fall.

    Here are the recent question papers: 2023 2022 2021 2019 2018 2017 2016 2015

  • UVic undergrads participate in the William Lowell Putnam Mathematical competition in early December simultaneously with students at other institutions.

    The 2023 Putnam is occurring at UVic on Saturday, December 2, 2023 in DTB A102.

    Please inquire if you are interested in math competitions and would like more information.
