Charles Puelz, Courant Institute, Computer models and numerical methods for mathematical cardiology
This talk will cover two approaches for modeling blood flow in the human body. The first approach describes blood transport in elastic vessels and requires the numerical solution of a nonlinear hyperbolic system on branching vessel networks. I will discuss some…

What can we tell about the interior structure of our planet, if we observe the travel time of a large number of earthquakes? This is the time it takes for a seismic wave to travel from the epicenter of the earthquake to…
Find out moreMath REU Panel
Research Experience for Undergrad (REU) programs are summer jobs where you get paid to research. Panelists will discuss the application process, math research, where to find listings, and more.

Many materials are built from a grid of flexible but nearly inextensible rods that behaves as a shell-like structure. Everyday examples range from fabrics made of 1000s of interwoven yarns; to kitchen strainers made of 100s of plastically deforming wires;…

Pertussis, commonly known as whooping cough, is caused by the bacterial pathogen Bordetella pertussis. Completely susceptible individuals experience severe disease, with the hallmark whooping cough, but those with partial immunity have milder, if any symptoms. Immunity following natural infection (or immunization)…
