2008 Parsons Lecture   Mathematical Modeling in Biology: What is it? And how is it useful? by Dr. Mary Lou Zeeman Thursday, April 10 at 7pm in Lipinsky Auditorium

For example: What happens when three species compete for the same resources? What's the best way to preserve a species? Why do diseases come in cycles?
