US-Cameroon International Workshop on Mathematical Biology (Buea, Cameroon May 15-17, 2009)

美国-喀麦隆数学生物学国际研讨会将于2009年5月15日至17日在非洲喀麦隆的布埃亚大学举行，同时将于2009年5月12日至16日举行第一届数学科学国际会议。 该研讨会将汇集来自美国，欧洲，中部和撒哈拉以南非洲的数学家，应用数学家和数学生物学家，以交流信息和参与者之间的想法;促进研究，这将导致有效的新的数学和计算方法和技术的科学，工程，工业和社会;并为今后与喀麦隆和整个非洲的科学家和数学家合作提供机会。特别强调为初级教师和研究生提供参与的机会，以及妇女和来自数学代表性不足的群体的个人，包括历史上黑人学院和大学的学生和教师。 这项赠款由OISE和DMS共同资助。

The US-Cameroon International Workshop on Mathematical Biology will take place at the University of Buea in Cameroon, Africa, from May 15-17, 2009, in conjunction with the First International Conference on Mathematical Sciences to be held from May 12-16, 2009. The workshop will bring together mathematicians, applied mathematicians and mathematical biologists from the US, Europe, and Central and Sub-Saharan Africa in order to exchange information and ideas among participants; promote research that will lead to effective new mathematical and computational methods and techniques for science, engineering, industry, and society; and provide opportunities for future collaboration with scientists and mathematicians in Cameroon and Africa at large. Special emphasis is being placed on providing opportunities for junior faculty and graduate students to participate, as well as women and individuals from groups who are underrepresented in mathematics, including students and faculty from Historically Black Colleges and Universities. This grant is co-funded by OISE and DMS.
