2006 Summer Program in Mathematical
Biology for Undergraduates
Beginning in 2006, the MBI will host a summer education program
for undergraduates. The program consists of two parts: (a) two weeks
of introductory lectures plus short projects and a computer lab,
and (b) a summer long research experience (6 weeks to be followed
immediately after the 2 weeks) devoted to projects in the interface
of mathematics, statistics, and biological sciences.
The 2006 Summer Program dates are July 5 - 17.
Program Leaders: Dennis Pearl, David Terman, Kate Calder, and
Ramana Davuluri
