Scaling the Maths of Life

Explore the fascinating intersection of mathematics and biology in this public lecture that delves into how mathematical models can link different scales of biological organization. Learn about developmental biology, ecology, and neurosciences through real-life examples, simple games, and elegant mathematical concepts. Discover the principles of slow-fast dynamics, population dynamics, homeostasis, and functional responses in biological systems. Investigate approximation techniques, neuron firing patterns, and biological control mechanisms. Gain insights into dynamic control and optimal control game theory as applied to life sciences. Join Professor Michael Bonsall from the University of Oxford as he demonstrates the power of mathematical biology in understanding and scaling the complexities of life.
