May 3 + 4, 2024, University of Alberta, Campus Saint-Jean

The annual Alberta Mathematics Dialogue (AMD) is the largest annual meeting for professional mathematicians and mathematics educators in Alberta. Over two days, delegates will discuss current research, collaborate on open problems, exchange ideas on post-secondary education and share educational resources. The research component of the conference spans the entire width of mathematical exploration, from senior plenary talks, to expert minisymposia, to graduate student talks and a special session for undergraduate research. Educational topics revolve around online teaching, remote grading, modern curricula in mathematics, as well as equity, diversity, and indigenization of mathematics. In addition, we invite leading experts in research and education from outside the province.
