Introduction:
| | The use of mathematical models to shed light on phenomena in the life sciences is a well-established practice, having been used for over a century now. A very vivid experience of this kind was the outbreak of the Covid19 pandemic, when even lay people were learning about the meaning of R0 and many policymakers all over the world were relying on predictions of mathematical models. By their very nature, differential equations, dynamical systems and stochastic processes are key tools, as they can be investigated with analytical and numerical methods. Our special session will bring together junior and senior scientists from a diverse set of backgrounds to present and discuss recent trends and progress in their specific fields of interest. We plan to focus on fields such as cancer modeling, infectious diseases, computational neuroscience and ecology.
