All visitors please note that a transfer is necessary to avoid paying your fare multiple times. Please ask for a transfer when boarding the bus. However, as a separate discipline, mathematical biology has been recognized only over the past few decades.
Mathematical biology is as diverse as are the areas making up the biological and medical sciences.
Many of these areas break down further into more specialized topics. Consequently, the models and the mathematical techniques used to solve and study the models have been diverse, from simple discrete models using simple automata algorithms and to highly complex models consisting of coupled systems of nonlinear partial differential equations for which no mathematical theories exist. As a consequence of the latter, numerical computations have been an important tool and will continue to become increasingly important as the complexity of the models increases to account for more and more details. Given the number of researchers with expertise in mathematical biology at the PIMS' institutions, it is natural for PIMS to sponsor this Special Summer on Mathematical Biology. There are educational and research objectives of this program.
