We first introduce the background and motivation of Hamiltonian systems and symplectic geometry. The basic ideas and the key steps on developing symplectic geometric algorithms are presented. Applications of symplectic geometric methods for...

The size effects at micro/nano-scale are first discussed. The scale invariance and the applications in mathematical modeling at nano-scale is then presented. An important concept such as the scale gap is introduced and we particularly discuss the...

There is a long-standing assumption that more effective mathematics teaching is linked to taking more courses in mathematics. Unfortunately, despite extensive efforts, there is virtually no proof to support this suspicion. That dearth of evidence has...

We first discuss the scale invariance and electromagnetic modeling at nano-scale. For 3D time-harmonic Maxwell’s equations and 3D time-dependent Maxwell’s equations in composite materials, we presented the multi-scale asymptotic expansions and...

This ten-day workshop, held in early May each year, is designed to introduce approximately 20 undergraduates to the subject of mathematical biology and to give them the tools needed to continue research in mathematical biology. It is the only...

Graphical models that represent knowledge and uncertainty such as Bayesian networks are popular approaches due to their strong probabilistic semantics and oftentimes intuitive decision modeling capabilities. In this talk, we will examine such...

The course will focus on models of neuronal networks and infectious diseases on networks. The first half of the course will introduce deterministic models of infectious diseases, then proceed to network models. Some case studies of particular...

Morphogens (ligands) are molecular substances synthesized at some localized source and bound to cell surface receptors and other molecules as they are transported away from their source. The concentration gradients of different morphogen-receptor...

The Pacific North West Number Theory Conference is an annual number theory conference bringing together the number theory groups from western Canada and the northwestern United States. See http://www.cecm.sfu.ca/~nbruin/pnwntc2010.
