Biomathematics Seminar
Fall 2010
Course Homepage
Overview.
The Biomathematics Seminar
is a central activity of the National Institutes of Health training grant - "Computational
and Mathematical Modeling of Biomedical Systems." This grant will
provide fellowships for students working at the interface of mathematics and the
biological and biomedical sciences and will create a campus-wide community of
faculty and students working on problems in quantitative biology. As a
consequence, the seminar is open to all graduate students as a course and
individuals seminars are open to the University of Arizona community.
Day to Day Operations.
