1010 - Mathematical Biology Day
The first official day of Mathematical Biology will be launched with a special series of public talks on the 10/10 at the Swedish Royal Academy of Science.
Tid: On 2018-10-10 kl 09.00 - 15.05
Plats: Kungl. Vetenskapsakademien, Stockholm, Lilla Frescativägen 4A
Our logo of the year of Mathematical Biology reminds us about the different processes of differentiation, collective motion and morphogenesis leading to our 10 fingers in arms and legs that in turn led to the decimal system. Let us celebrate the huge increase and importance of applications of mathematics to biology and life sciences and let us open our minds to embrace the new challenges for Maths in Biology ahead.
Free, no registration necessary. Biology and math teacher, bring your students, for parts or the whole day!
