Dynamical Systems and Climate: Opportunities for Involvement

Mary Lou Zeeman describes the state of dynamical systems activities and opportunities in the field of Climate dynamics and modeling. This article is a follow up to Zeeman's May 2008 article Climate Math in San Diego.

Dynamical Systems and Software Tools

John Guckenheimer talked to Hinke Osinga at the recent SIAM Conference on Applied Dynamical Systems about the role of software development in dynamical systems, the growing demand for tools to investigate complex dynamical systems, and the roles of mathematics and computer science...

Dynamical systems applied to neural mass and neural field models

At the last annual meeting of the Organization for Computational Neurosciences (OCNS), there was a lot of attention on neural mass and neural field models, the latter of which treat the mammalian cortex as a continuous, excitable medium. These approaches lead to models that comprise nonlinear...

Dynamical Systems at North Carolina State University

North Carolina State University has a tradition of dynamical systems and biological applications going back to the 1960's. The research in the Mathematics Department is enhanced by contact with other departments both at NC State and at nearby universities in the Research Triangle, and with...

Dynamical Systems at Peking University

Peking University is one of the most influential universities in China. Many excellent people in its School of Mathematical Sciences were working on a variety of subjects of dynamical systems and had a tremendous influence on the study of dynamical systems in China.

Dynamical Systems at the 2008 SIAM Annual Meeting

The 2008 SIAM Annual Meeting was held from July 7-11 at the Town and Country Resort Hotel and Convention Center in San Diego, California. Here are some reflections on this conference that Jeff Moehlis has written to share with members of SIAG/DS and the dynamical systems community at large.

Dynamical systems at the Bandung Institute of Technology

In 1998, a group of Indonesian students went to the Netherlands to work on a PhD in applied mathematics. From this exchange the dynamical systems group at the Bandung Institute of Technology was born. Theo Tuwankotta, who graduated in Utrecht in 2002, outlines the activities and research...
