The emphasis will be on practical, hands-on experience for building and analyzing models, coupled with lectures on key techniques. Examples will be drawn from a variety of areas including ecological invasions of so-called `pest' species, and the emergence of novel pathogens like SARS and avian influenza. A major focus will be on techniques for incorporating evolutionary change in the mathematical models. Each student will be expected to develop and analyze a model of their choosing during the period of the summer school, in collaboration with a small group of other students. Organizers: Dr Troy Day (Queen's), Dr Fred Brauer (UBC), Dr James Watmough (New Brunswick), Dr Jianhong Wu (York), Dr Rachel Bennett (Queen's).
