THE FIELDS INSTITUTE FOR RESEARCH IN MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES 20th ANNIVERSARY YEAR

April 12, 2013 9:00 a.m.- 5:00 p.m. 2013 Southern Ontario Dynamics Day Co-organized by York University and the Fields Institute Held at Fields Institute, 222 College St., Toronto Organizer: Huaiping Zhu, York University

Overview

The 2013 Southern Ontario Dynamics Day is co-organized by the Department of Mathematics & Statistics of York University and The Fields Institute for Research in Mathematical Science. The workshop will be hosted at The Fields Institute.

The 2013 Dynamics Day program will consist of 15 invited lectures, including a session for selected postdocs and graduate students. The program will cover very diverse and exciting new development of research in dynamical systems theory including bifurcation theory and applications in ecology and epidemiology.

Sue Ann Campbell (University of Waterloo)
Dong Eui Chang (University of Waterloo)
Hermann Eberl (University of Guelph)
Bernhard Lani-Wayda (Justus Liebig University)
Jean-Philippe Lessard (Laval University)
Mary Pugh (University of Toronto)
Gail Wolkowicz (McMaster University)
Jianhong Wu (York University)
