All events held at the University of Manitoba in Room E2-304 E2-165 EITC
PDMW is a semi-regular regional
meeting (held approximately annually) focusing on pure and applied Combinatorics and Discrete
Mathematics, including enumeration, coding theory, graph theory,
configurations, design theory, computational discrete mathematics, and
applications in physics, engineering and statistics. While
the meeting is geared to participants from the West Central North
American region it attracts participants from a wider area.
The meeting itself consists of a series of one-hour talks by invited speakers.
Due to the unusual timing for PDMW VII this year, it comes immediately
prior to PNRMS, the Prairie Network for Research in the Mathematical Sciences -- to encourage and advance research in the mathematical sciences in Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Themes for the meeting will be Pure Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, and Statistics. PNRMS is held April 30, 31 in the same venue. Participants with
interests in both fields may be interested in staying around and
attending both.

In prehistory there were meetings loosely referred to as "combinatorial
potlatches", involving universities in British Columbia and
Washington. PDMW was proposed by Brian Alspach as a
generalization of the concept.
PDMW I: University of Regina, 2002
PDMW II:
University of Lethbridge, 2003
PDMW III:
University of Winnipeg, Aug. 25, 26 2005
PDMW IV:
Lethbridge, Aug. 1, 2 2006 (Held in honour of Jim Liu after his tragic
death)
PDMW V:

In previous years PDMW has been brought to you by the generous support
of PIMS and the
host university. Support for this meeting is currently
pending.
