Mathematical Models for Territorial Interactions
June 5, 2012
University of Calgary
Mathematical models can help us understand the formation of complex spatial patterns, including the territories of wolves and coyotes. Here scent marks provide important cues regarding the use of space. In this talk I will show how biologically-based...

Stiffness analysis of cardiac cell models: implications on real-time heart simulation
November 22, 2011
University of Calgary
The electrophysiology in a cardiac cell can be modelled as a system of ordinary differential equations. The efficient solution of these systems is important because they must be solved billions of times as sub-problems of organ-level simulations. The...

Pi - History, facts, world records, and more!
November 1, 2011
University of Calgary
Humankind's fascination with the mathematical constant pi goes well beyond practical need. In fact, even though over five trillion decimal places of pi has been calculated, a mere four decimal places are sufficient for the design of the world's...
