North Carolina State University; Raleigh, NC
Collaboration between mathematicians and research scientists, in conjunction with computer simulation, has enabled rapid innovation in diverse areas of science and medicine. Examples drawn from the study of HIV infection dynamics and smart materials will be used to illustrate the power of mathematics to offer unlikely and subtle insights to researchers in these areas. (This talk is intended for a general audience.)
