AWM - Faculty Talk

We’re excited to invite everyone to AWM’s first faculty talk of the semester. On Wednesday, February 18th at 4:00 P.M. in Little Hall 225, Dr. Tracy Stepien from the Department of Mathematics will give a talk titled "Dynamical Systems in Mathematical Biology" — the abstract and flyer are attached below. Everyone is welcome, and we hope to see you there! 

Abstract:

A dynamical system describes how something changes over time, and certainly in biology, physics, chemistry, etc., there are many examples of dynamical systems that can be modeled using mathematical equations. The modern field of dynamical systems focuses on qualitative rather than quantitative questions about the behavior of the system over time. Instead of trying to find an explicit solution of a system of equations (which may be impossible to do!), geometric tools and analysis are used to inform predictions. I’ll first give an overview of dynamical systems concepts, and then we’ll move on to study how they can be applied to different mathematical models of cell migration. As a specific example, we’ll investigate the existence of traveling waves, where the cell population travels at a constant velocity without change in its density profile. 

I would greatly appreciate it if you could notify your students about this great opportunity. If anyone would like to know more about the club, feel free to look at our website at https://awm.math.ufl.edu, contact our AWM Vice President, Jada Sitchler (sitchlerj@ufl.edu), or our faculty sponsors, Dr. Gamage (cgamage@ufl.edu) and Professor Demas (demasc@ufl.edu). 

Best,
