The school, which offers courses in the mathematical sciences and their applications, is intended for graduate students from all parts of the world. Each participant will be expected to register for two courses each with five ninety-minute lectures per week. These are graduate courses, approved by MUN, and we will facilitate transfer credits to the extent possible. For 2011 the following courses are planned: *Analysis and Geometry of Partial Differential Equations* Anreas Colesanti (University of Firenze) & Robert J. MaCann (University of Toronto) *Harmonic Analysis* Yongsheng Han (Auburn University) *Numerical Solution to Partial Differential Equations* Weizhang Huang (University of Kansas) *Mathematical Biology* Troy Day (Queen's University) & Abba Gumel (University of Manitoba) For more information, or to express interest in attending, send email to Jie Xiao (jxiao@mun.ca) and/or visit our website. www.aarms.math.ca -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Butler Memorial Conference on Differential Equations and Population Biology, July 25-30, 2011, University of Alberta Message-ID: <20110321162216.20224dua1hh8jf6s@webmail.ualberta.ca> The 5th Geoffrey J. Butler Memorial Conference on Differential Equations and Population Biology July 25 ? 30, 2011 University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada The 5th G.J. Butler International Conference on Mathematical Biology and Differential Equations will be held on the University of Alberta campus, Edmonton, from July 25-30, 2011, shortly after the 2011 ICIAM meeting in Vancouver. This conference in the memory of our late colleague, Geoffrey James Butler, follows four highly successful previous such conferences. The Butler Speaker for 2011 will be Professor Jianhong Wu of York University, who will give three Butler Memorial Lectures throughout the conference. Previous Butler Speakers were Professors Paul Waltman, Jean Mahwin, Jack Hale, and Gail Wolkowicz. One-hour keynote lectures will be delivered by the following speakers: Arno Berger (Alberta) Gerda de Vries (Alberta) Josef Hofbauer (Vienna) Yang Kuang (Arizona State) Yuan Lou (Ohio State) Philip Maini (Oxford) Shigui Ruan (Miami) Yasuhiro Takeuchi (Japan) Horst Thieme (Arizona State) Wendi Wang (China) Gail Wolkowicz (McMaster) Yingfei Yi (Georgia Tech) The scientific scope of the Butler conference series covers two important fields of scientific research. The scope in differential equations covers ODEs, PDEs, FDEs, and abstract dynamical systems. The scope in population biology has grown from the traditional ecology to include epidemiology, physiology, cell biology, systems biology, immunology and other medical applications. By bringing together researchers from two interconnected disciplines, the Butler conference presents a unique opportunity to promote and nurture scientific exchange and interdisciplinary collaboration. The Proceedings of the conference will be published in the Canadian Applied Math Quarterly (CAMQ). All participants who present a paper at the conference are welcome to submit a paper containing original research or of a survey nature to be published in the Proceedings. The deadline for submission will be July 30, 2011. All papers will be refereed. With the support of our funding agencies, we are able to provide up to 20 studentships to facilitate the participation of graduate students and recent PhDs.

The program will support up to thirty students to take part in research projects supervised by leading scientists from Fields partner universities or thematic programs. Students will work on research projects in groups of three or four. Some projects will be related to the Fields Thematic Programs on The Mathematics of Constraint Satisfaction and on Discrete Geometry and Applications. In addition, supervisors will suggest other topics outside of these fields. In some cases students may also have the opportunity to spend a week off site at the home campus of the project supervisor(s). Out of town students accepted into the program will receive financial support for travel to Toronto, student residence housing on the campus of the University of Toronto from July 4 to August 26, 2011, and a per diem for meals. Non-Canadian students will receive medical coverage during their stay. Undergraduate students in mathematics and related disciplines are encouraged to apply. All applications must be received by April 30, 2011.
