Seshaiyer The investigator organizes a symposium on mathematical andcomputational modeling of biological systems at Texas TechUniversity from November 6-8, 2003. The conference consists of aseries of lectures given by outstanding scholars who havecontributed extensively to the central theme. The talks cover abroad range of topics, including the mathematics of cardiacarrhythmias, past successes and future challenges in continuummechanics of soft biological tissues, a 20 year retrospective ofthe Chay-Keizer model, tumor mechanics, computational biofluiddynamics, and computational models of cardiovascular surgeryplanning. The main objectives of the meeting are to: (a)disseminate the most recent advances in mathematical andcomputational approaches in understanding biological systems, (b)increase the level of awareness in nurturing mathematical andcomputational research in biological systems, (c) to train seniorundergraduate, graduate, post-doctoral students and early careerscientists in interdisciplinary aspects of problem solving, and(d) initiate and promote new collaborations between mathematicsand all areas of science, engineering and science education. The theme of the meeting is the opportunity to usemathematical and computational tools to understand biologicalsystems. The meeting includes experts giving lectures on diversetopics in the underlying theme, with the expectation to providemembers of the mathematical and engineering community anopportunity to learn about new research venues. Participantsinclude undergraduate and graduate students and postdoctoralresearchers. The meeting provides a forum for the exposure andexchange of ideas, methods, and results in the underlying themeof the conference. The conference provides an excellentopportunity to assess the current developments and futuredirections in this area. Special efforts are made to encouragewomen and underrepresented minorities to pursue careers inscience, especially in interdisciplinary areas that bridge thebiological, mathematical, and computational sciences.

2003年11月6-8日，研究人员Seshaiyer在德克萨斯理工大学组织了一次关于生物系统数学和计算建模的研讨会。会议由对这一中心主题有广泛贡献的杰出学者所作的一系列讲座组成。讲座涵盖了广泛的主题，包括心律失常的数学，软生物组织的连续力学的过去的成功和未来的挑战，Chay-Keizer模型的20年回顾，肿瘤力学，计算生物流体动力学，以及心血管手术规划的计算模型。会议的主要目标是：(A)传播数学和计算方法在了解生物系统方面的最新进展；(B)提高对培养生物系统中的数学和计算研究的认识；(C)培训高年级本科生、研究生、博士后和早期就业科学家解决问题的跨学科方面；以及(D)启动和促进数学与科学、工程和科学教育的所有领域之间的新合作。会议的主题是利用数学和计算工具了解生物系统的机会。会议包括专家就基本主题的多样性问题发表演讲，期望为数学和工程界成员提供一个了解新研究场所的机会。参与者包括本科生、研究生和博士后研究人员。会议为会议的基本主题提供了一个展示和交流思想、方法和成果的论坛。这次会议为评估这一领域的当前发展和未来方向提供了一个极好的机会。特别努力鼓励妇女和代表性不足的少数群体从事科学事业，特别是在连接生物、数学和计算科学的跨学科领域。
