This workshop focuses on concrete examples of how mathematical modeling can improve biological understanding, based on a required course of the same name for first-year graduate students in the biological sciences at the Weizmann Institute of Science. The course is mainly intended for graduate students, postdoctoral, or junior faculty members in the biological sciences. Also welcome will be theorists, such as applied mathematicians or physicists, who are interested in preparing themselves to teach a course in modeling for biologists.
Enrollment is limited.
There is no tuition. Support for living expenses will be considered if funds are not available from other sources. Biology participants should have been exposed to a year of calculus. It is helpful, but not essential, if the theorists who attend have some understanding of the elements of biology. Include your email address and fax number.
