Students will attend lectures in the morning and problem sessions in small groups with mentors in the afternoon. On-campus accommodation and meals will be provided, plus a travel allowance of up to $500. Two mini-courses will be given: Guillaume Bal, Steve McDowall and Gunther Uhlmann: X-Ray Tomography and Transport Theory Donna Calhoun and Randall LeVeque: Finite Volume Methods and the Clawpack Software Apply online by April 1 at http://www.math.washington.edu/ipde/summer (The Summer School is supported by an NSF Research Training Grant. Support is restricted to U.S. citizens/permanent residents. Applications from international students may be considered, but international students must provide their own support for travel, accommodation, and meals.) ----------------------------- Subject: Special Issue on Inverse Problems in Mathematical Biology From: Samuli Siltanen Date: Tue, 21 Dec 2010 Call for papers Journal of Mathematical Biology: Special Issue on Inverse Problems in Mathematical Biology Advances in the understanding of biology are often based on successful interpretation of indirect measurements. Those measurements may take the form of microscopic images, electrical neurophysiology data, X-ray microtomography reconstructions, or spatial distribution of species. Sometimes the quantity of interest provides only a small and noise-sensitive contribution to the measured data, which makes the interpretation task an ill-posed inverse problem. Theoretical and computational inversion methods has developed tremendously in recent years. The purpose of the present Special Issue is to promote the application of the newest inversion methods to studies in mathematical biology, hopefully giving a boost to both fields. We warmly invite you to submit your manuscript online at https://www.editorialmanager.com/jomb/ no later than July 31, 2011. The manuscripts will be peer-reviewed by two anonymous experts according to the usual high standards of the Journal of Mathematical Biology. You will find instructions for authors at the webpage of the Journal of Mathematical Biology: http://www.springer.com/285. When asked 'Please select an Article Type', please make sure to choose the Special Issue "SI: inverse problems." If you have any questions about the Special Issue, please feel free to contact either of us.
