We are pleased to host the Prairie Discrete Mathematics Workshop (PDMW) 2018 at Brandon University in Brandon, Manitoba.
- Event Poster
- The workshop will be held in the Brodie Science Building of Brandon University, June 12 – 15, 2018.
- The main objective of the PDMW is to bring together researchers in the area
of discrete mathematics from across the prairie region as well as neighbouring
provinces and states. The goal for the workshop is to provide opportunities
for sharing research and joint research projects. - The PDMW has been held annually since 2003 (with the exception of 2007 and 2014). 2018 represents the fourteenth workshop

We invite anyone working in discrete mathematics, including those working in combinatorics, graph theory, matrix analysis, quantum information theory, and theoretical computer science, to submit an abstract for a contributed talk. Early career researchers, postdocs, and graduate students are particularly encouraged to submit an abstract.
Invited speakers as well as participants who wish to present a contributed talk or a poster should send a title/abstract to: ploskers@brandonu.ca Please use the Presentation Abstract .tex file Rename the file to your name and send only the .tex file (no need for the pdf version).
The deadline for title and abstract submission is: May 1, 2018.
If you do not wish to give a talk or poster, but would still like to participate in the event, please register by emailing ploskers@brandonu.ca by May 1, 2018 with your name and affiliation.
