Advanced Mathematical Sciences I (FY2010)

Patterns, Waves and Motion in Biological Systems

CONTENTS
　“Mathematical Sciences of Patterns, Waves and Motion appear in Biological Systems” In the natural world, there are thousands of complex shapes, patterns and movements which we can not imagine or predict. Were they born with mystery in the nature? Or, was there anyone who had created them with some meanings? By observing these wonders from the perspective of Mathematical Sciences, the lectures of this course will be given by focusing on especially wondrous shapes, beautiful patterns, unexpected movements which appear in the Biological world.
PLANS
　The lecture series will be given in omnibus style by top leading researchers from all over the world covering their latest research topics from interdisciplinary perspectives. All the lectures will be given in English.
