| Asymptotic Geometric Analysis | |
| Org: Susanna Dann (Universidad de los Andes, Bogota, Colombia), Daniel Galicer (Universidad de Buenos Aires , Argentina) et Alexander Litvak (University of Alberta) | |
| Asymptotic Geometric Analysis (AGA) is mainly concerned with geometric and linear properties of infinite dimensional objects, such as convex sets and normed spaces, especially with the characteristic behavior that emerges when the dimension, or a number of other relevant free parameters, is suitably large or tends to infinity. High-dimensional systems are very frequent in mathematics and applied sciences hence understanding of high-dimensional phenomena is becoming increasingly important. By virtue of AGA general framework, methods, and its impact on related fields, AGA can be situated at the crossroads of many branches of mathematics: functional analysis, convex and discrete geometry (described below), several areas of probability including random matrix theory, some aspects of graph theory, among others. | |

Recently, there have been more developments in the field of graph searching, especially when it comes to deterministic and probabilistic games. In this session, we will highlight some of the most recent results in this highly diverse area. The theory of graph searching games often contains new and novel bounds on different games and their game variants based on the structure of the underlying graphs. In this session, we will highlight new variants of known games, as well as important improvements on long-standing theoretical results. | |

| Embedding Ethics In Mathematics | |
| Org: Diana Skrzydlo (University of Waterloo) | |
| Mathematics, statistics, and computer science have a major impact on many aspects of life, and with that comes important ethical considerations, such as cryptography and privacy laws, bias in data collection, algorithms reinforcing existing inequalities, pricing of insurance, and misleading investment products. Students need to be thinking about these issues throughout their education, so they can use mathematics ethically and responsibly. This session will have several speakers discuss the work they have done to embed ethics education into their math courses, and will also have an opportunity for a large group discussion. | |

| The Mathematics of Mathematics Education | |
| Org: Egan Chernoff (University of Saskatchewan) et Rina Zazkis (Simon Fraser University) | |
| As the field of mathematics education continues to expand and evolve, an argument has been made that mathematics is getting left behind in mathematics education. Trending research topics, for example, mathematics anxiety, social justice, classroom technology, pedagogical trends, assessment and evaluation, and many others, while important, are also beginning to eclipse mathematics education research that leans heavily on mathematics. However, a dedicated group of Canadian researchers continues to embrace the mathematics of mathematics education, that is, they further the focus on the teaching, learning and understanding (or understanding better what was understood previously) of various mathematical topics and ideas. Said work will be highlighted and explored in this Education Session of the 2024 Winter Meeting of the Canadian Mathematical Society . Please join us. | |
