The final MCSP Seminar of 2012-13 will be on Tuesday, April 9 at 11:30 in SC 134. The featured speaker will be Patrick Rhomberg '07, a doctoral candidate in applied mathematics at the University of Iowa.
Mr. Rhomberg will discuss mathematical and computational models in biological mathematics and other aspects of his work in computational epidemiology. A strong mathematical background is not required to listen to his talk. All are invited to hear his presentation entitled, "Good Looking Mathematics: a Discussion of Mathematical Models," in room 134 of the Science Center. (See below for an abstract.) As always, refreshments (cookies and beverages) will be provided. We hope to see you there!
April 9 Speaker: Patrick Rhomberg '07 (Graduate Student in Applied Mathematics at the University of Iowa)
Title: "Good Looking Mathematics: a Discussion of Mathematical Models"
Abstract: Models are instrumental to our understanding of much of the world around us. Mathematical models provide us with a strong framework for conjecture and analysis of the phenomena they represent. In this talk, I will motivate and introduce some mathematical and computational models in biological mathematics: a simple differential equations model of the heart, the standard compartmental epidemiology model, and (time
permitting) extensions of this model. All are welcome. No strong mathematical background required; all pertinent mathematical framework will be covered.
