Centre International de Mathématiques Pures et Appliquées

CIMPA-UNESCO-MESR-MINECO-CUBA research school

Objectives :

Mathematical modelling in biology and analysis of the resulting equations are a main challanging scientific problem. This domain interests an increasing mathematical community in the world as well as biologists, doctors, engineers in environmental science for their possible applications. The various recent PDE methods and the last most significant progress in this domain need to be exchanged and developed with Cuba and other countries of the Caribbean area. The school aims at presenting some of the current approaches in PDE modelling and mathematical analysis of biological and medical phenomena. It aims at allowing the researchers and the students of Master’s degree level to acquire a basic training in that field. This school will cover a wide class of equations and applications including population dynamics, pattern formation, chemotaxis, aggregation, biological waves and their implications in developmental biology, epidemiology and neurosciences. The main tools considered are PDE’s, and other related fields, as dynamical system and numerical methods.
