Description |
|
| The National Institute for Mathematical and Biological Synthesis (NIMBioS) is now accepting applications for its Tutorial, "Game Theoretical Modeling of Evolution in Structured Populations," to be held April 25-27, 2016, at NIMBioS. Objectives: Participants will be introduced to the discrete graph theory methods and models of structured population as well as classical continuous models based on differential equations. They will learn how to use such methods and/or build and analyze models in the context of the tutorial’s topics and will work in small groups to experience how to use the methodology to describe, simulate, and analyze the relevant biological systems. Participants will be exposed to software that implements the mathematical methods, aids visualization, and facilitates computations and analyses. Participants will learn how the tutorial materials may fit into mathematics and biology courses or be used as an introduction to independent studies or undergraduate research. Location: NIMBioS at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville Co-Organizers: Mark Broom, Mathematics, City Univ. London; Jonathan Rowell, Mathematics and Statistics, Univ. of North Carolina, Greensboro; Jan Rychtar, Mathematics and Statistics, Univ. of North Carolina, Greensboro; and Jeremy Van Cleve, Biology, Univ. of Kentucky For more information about the tutorial and a link to the online application form, go to http://www.nimbios.org/tutorials/TT_gametheory Participation in NIMBioS tutorials is by application only. Individuals with a strong interest in the topic are encouraged to apply, and successful applicants will be notified within two weeks after the application deadline. If needed, financial support for travel, meals, and lodging is available for tutorial attendees. Application deadline: February 15, 2016 The National Institute for Mathematical and Biological Synthesis (NIMBioS) (http://www.nimbios.org) brings together researchers from around the world to collaborate across disciplinary boundaries to investigate solutions to basic and applied problems in the life sciences. NIMBioS is sponsored by the National Science Foundation, with additional support from The University of Tennessee, Knoxville. |
