Mathematical biology is a fascinating and fast-growing area of
mathematics. It is an active research area of great potential using the
power of mathematics to study challenging
biological problems. Students can find many applications of mathematics
in biology accessible even with familiarity only with calculus.
The workshop provides great
opportunities for the participants to learn more about mathematical
biology and to meet with other mathematicians.
The workshop is designed to intrigue and introduce college mathematics
teachers to the world of mathematical biology.
There is no technical background needed. However, a familiarity with
difference and differential equations will make your workshop
experience more productive and memorable. The primary goal of the
workshop is to allow the participants to engage in academic activities
in the area of mathematical biology, including teaching an
undergraduate course and pursuing and directing student research. Each
day of the workshop consists of a morning and an afternoon
session. Lecturers will be given primarily on the first and the third
day of the workshop. The second day is comprised of a problem
session in the morning and an exciting
outdoor activity in the afternoon. During the last day, the
participants will explore interesting research projects with the aid of
computers. For more information, please visit the workshop webpage at
