tailieunhanh - Making Sense of Complexity

This report documents a recent workshop1 at which approximately 85 biomedical scientists, math- ematicians, and statisticians shared their experiences in modeling aspects of cellular function, disease states, and neuroscience. The topics were chosen to provide a sampling of the rapidly emerging research at the interface of the mathematical and biomedical sciences, and this summary has been prepared as an introduction to those topics for mathematical scientists who are exploring the opportunities from bio- medical science. While a range of challenges and approaches was discussed at the workshop, its overall theme was perhaps best summarized by discussant Jim Keener, of the University of Utah, who. | NATIONAL RESEARCH COUNCIL MAKING SENSE OF comKexity Summary of the Workshop on Dynamical Modeling of Complex Biomedical Systems Making Sense of Complexity Summary of the Workshop on Dynamical Modeling of Complex Biomedical Systems George Casella Rongling Wu and Sam S.
