Geometry, Topology and Complexity of Manifolds, and Applications to Biology

2016年5月20-22日，“流形的几何、拓扑和复杂性及其在生物学中的应用”会议将在加州大学伯克利分校举行。本次会议的目的是将数学家、计算机科学家和生物学家聚集在一起，讨论在理解三维几何和相关算法方面的最新进展，以及如何将这些思想应用于生物学。在过去的几年里，在三维拓扑和几何、解决几何问题和理解其复杂性的算法以及从拓扑和几何到生物学的思想应用等领域取得了许多进展。为了让更多的数学观众了解这些发展并建立联系，本次会议将汇集这些不同领域的顶尖专家以及早期职业数学家和科学家。会议的网页是https://www.math.ucdavis.edu/~tsvietkova/Joelfest.html

The conference "Geometry, Topology and Complexity of Manifolds, and applications to Biology" will be held at the University of California, Berkeley, during 20-22 May, 2016. The aims of this conference are to bring together mathematicians, computer scientists and biologists to discuss recent developments in understanding geometry of three dimensions and related algorithms, and how these ideas can be applied to biology.There have been many advances in the last few years in the area of 3-dimensional topology and geometry, algorithms to solve geometric problems and to understand their complexity, and applications of ideas from topology and geometry to biology. In order to make these developments known to a larger mathematical audience and to establish connections, this conference will bring together leading experts in these various fields along with early career mathematicians and scientists.
