CUMC 2013 CommitteeThis year, eight people worked quite hard so that we could present to you this twentiethCUMC. Here they are.On the technical side of things, we could have done nothing without the help ofNicolas Bouchard. It is him who worked hard on the website and made sure to takecare of all the technical problems. He also supervised the communication aspect of theconference. For the website, he managed to create an abstract submission platform thatintegrates LATEX code. Nicolas received his bachelor’s degree in mathematics a yearago and he is now a master’s student in number theory at Université de Montréal.For logistics, Andréanne Lapointe and Nicolas Simard did a tremendous job. Theyhad one of the heaviest task: making sure that more than 200 hungry mathematicianswould be fed during the conference and would have a place to sleep. They also madesure there would be enough classrooms for all the talks. Andréanne has just now finishedher bachelor’s degree in physics and mathematics at Université de Montréal, andis starting now her master’s in the same field. Nicolas received his bachelor’s degreelast year, and has gone to the other side of the mountain for his master’s, studyingnumber theory at McGill University.Making sure everything was on schedule, Audrey Morin was there to help. Shemade sure the schedule was respected during the whole year, while taking care of notonly the volunteers, but also the committee members. Audrey is now studying forher bachelor’s in mathematics at Université de Montréal, where, specifically, she isstudying topology.As we all know, there could not be a conference without funding. This importanttask has been done by Kevin Gervais and Joanie Martineau. They managed not only tokeep our usual sponsors, but they also acquired some new ones, who made substantialcontributions. Kevin and Joanie both just finished their bachelor’s degrees in Mathematics.Kevin is continuing at the moment his studies for a masters degree in algebraicgeometry. Joanie is working for a year at the Fédération des Associations Étudiantesdu Campus de l’Université de Montréal.Even with substantial fundings, a good conference needs good keynote speakers.Vincent Létourneau has managed to find a very good combination of speakers, fromMontreal and elsewhere. Vincent is now a graduate student in topology at Universitéde Montréal.Finally, Jean Lagacé is the president of this year’s committee. He helped in manyaspects of the conference, focusing on communications. He acts mainly as a messengerbetween the committee and other institutions, such as the CMS and the Departmentof Mathematics and Statistics at UdeM. He is now an undergraduate student in mathematics,focusing on geometry and analysis. He will be studying at Trinity CollegeDublin next year.3
