Purpose

In this seminar we will examine some important concepts and systems in human physiology, 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 SFB researchers in the Systems Physiology Institute at Med-Uni Graz and Institute for Mathematics and Scientific Computing, Karl-Franzens University who make up the Cardiovascular Respiratory Control Group of the Special Research Center for Optimization and Control at the University of Graz (Spezialforschungsbereich F-003) sponsored by the Austrian Science Fund.

Organization

We will generally meet on Tuesdays from 16.00 to 17:30 in the Seminarraum 11.34 of the Department of Mathematics, Heinrichstrasse 36, third floor.

Ten lectures will be given by invited mathematicians, medical clinicians, and life scientists.

Students attending this seminar can receive 2 hourse credit upon completion of a report on a reasearch paper related to the topics of the seminar

All meetings without guest lectures will have discussions and talks by seminar organizers
