From the organizers:
This year’s Ottawa Mathematics Conference (OMC) was a success. Due to COVID-19, the platform for the conference went virtual and the Mathematics and Statistics Graduate Student Association (MSGSA) hosted the event using Zoom. To help spread out the days’ events we extended the OMC from three days to five days, running from June 1st to June 5th.

Notes from the Margin, the twice-yearly CMS Studc publication featuring student writing for a general mathematical audience, has for several years provided a platform for topics from higher-order Fourier analysis to tenure-track job interviews. We are excited to present this first post on the Notes from the Margin blog, which will complement but not replace the semi-annual print publication. We invite submissions year-round at student-editor@cms.math.ca.

The article for “October” is in French, it is available here.
