Mathematical Biology Seminar
The mathematical biology seminar meets approximately bi-weekly each semester at the University of Central Florida. The purpose of the seminar is to serve as an open forum for those interested in this wide research area. The seminar format may include: formal and informal talks, tutorials, summaries of research papers, model formulation, problem attack, mathematical techniques, and so on. The actual topics discussed, both mathematical and biological, will vary from session to session depending on the interests of those presenting and attending. Anyone is welcome to attend.
