FALL: Ecology and Evolution
The Department of Mathematics at the University of Utah is pleased to announce a Special Year in Mathematical Biology. This year is funded by the National Science Foundation with support from the University of Utah. The object of the Special Year is to train scientists in mathematical modeling applied to biological problems. The educational program will comprise a full year course `Mathematical Modeling in Biology', a weekly seminar series, one three day minisymposium per quarter and an informal student/post doc seminar (see the specific quarter for details). The pool of visitors will include principal lecturers, post-doctoral fellows, visiting graduate students, short-term visitors and minisymposium participants. The application period for the post-doctoral fellows and graduate students has passed. However, those interested in attending the minisymposia please send enquiries to mathbio@math.utah.edu. The Special Year will be run in cooperation with the Departments of Biology, Bioengineering, and Human Genetics, and the Cardiovascular Research and Training Institute at the University of Utah. The Mathematics Department currently has seven faculty and over 13 graduate students who are actively involved in mathematical biology research. As information is updated it will be available via anonymous ftp from ftp.math.utah.edu in the directory pub/mathbio. We have a world wide web site that can accessed from http://www.math.utah.edu/~dallon/spyear.html.
