Special Session
INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM Frontier of Mathematical BiologySeptember 23-24, 2004, Hiroshima University, Higashi-hiroshima, JapanPart 2 September 24, Fri., 09:00 --12:40 "Mathematics toward Biological Pattern Formation" organizers: Masayasu MIMURA (Hiroshima Univ., Japan）＆ Andreas DEUTSCH (Technical Univ., Germany) |
|
| In
the past, mathematics has not been used as an effective tool in
biological sciences. There are many reasons. One is probably that there
seems no fundamental biological laws. However, the field ranges from
experimental research linked to mathematical modeling to the
development of mathematical and theoretical biology. Especially,
mathematical modeling has been proven to be useful in the study of the
mechanisms that underlie the processes of biological pattern formation.
In this symposium, talks of 4 lecturers will emphasize the ability of
mathematical modeling to understand pattern formation in biological
systems. |
