2021 SIAM Front Range Student Conference
Date: March 13, 2021
The SIAM student chapters of Colorado are hosting their 17th annual regional student conference on applied mathematics for all schools along the Front Range. This event will allow students from different universities in the area to see what is being done in this field and promote interest in applied mathematics in general. This event is open to both undergraduates and graduate students.
All speakers and conference attendees should fill out a short registration form so we can email you the zoom links and keep you updated on any changes.
Location
Zoom links will be emailed to all registered speakers and participants
Call for Presentations
All students (undergraduate and graduate) are invited to submit abstracts on any research topic in applied mathematics. Please submit your title and abstract as soon as possible, but no later than Friday, March 5, 2021. All titles and abstracts should be submitted to FRAMSC.abstracts@gmail.com.
2021 SIAM Conference Keynote Speaker
Speaker
Title
"What can calculus tell us about life?"
Abstract
In this talk I will discuss how we can use calculus to gain insight into complex social, ecological, and biological phenomena. We will see how we can use the framework of partial differential equations to encompass many types of phenomena when we are interested in studying global structures, such as the dynamics of a population versus an individual.Ìý We will look at applications in urban crime, social outburst of activity, and territory formations in ecology.Ìý We explore various important mathematical questions from the point of view of the applications and discuss the limitation of our framework.
Â鶹ӰԺ the Speaker
Dr. Nancy Rodriguez is Assistant Professor at CU Â鶹ӰԺ Applied Math Department. Her research focuses on nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs), in particular those with applications to urban crime, segregation, biological aggregation, chemotaxis, and ecology. She is interested in the mathematical modeling and the use of numerical and mathematical analysis to shed light into social, biological and ecological systems.
