CIMPA-UNESCO SUMMER SCHOOL



Mathematical and Computational Methods in Biology

Center for Scientific Studies  (CECS)

VALDIVIA-CHILE

 January 5-16, 2004
schedule

Main Purpose: 

The purpose of the School is to offer a global view of mathematical and computational  methods used for modelisation of biological problems. We also want to exhibit research problems which need new theoretical tools to be solved.

There will be 4 courses per week of 4 lectures of 1,5 hours each one, addressed to Ph.D. students and young researchers in mathematics, physics, bio-informatics, bio-technology, biology.
