Summer Semester 012 - Course Number 621.655
Seminar on Optimization and Control in Physiological Systems
(for Mathematicians and Life Scientists)
(2 hours of course credit)

Purpose
In this seminar we will examine mathematical techniques needed for modeling physiological systems as well as some important concepts and systems in human physiology. These issues will be considered both from the perspective of the physiologist and the mathematician. As an end result of this seminar it is hoped that both the physiologist's and the mathematician's perspective will complement each other and advance joint knowledge.
This seminar is a joint effort of researchers in the Physiology Institute at Med-Uni Graz and the Mathematical and Physiological Group of the Institute for Mathematics and Scientific Computing, Karl-Franzens University.
