Graduate course on the DYNAMICS OF STRUCTURED POPULATIONS at the University
of Helsinki, April-May 2006

In late spring 2006, Professor Mats Gyllenberg will give a course on
modelling and the dynamics of general physiologically structured
populations. The course starts with an account of the basic principles of
modelling structured populations and will in the end bring the audience to
the research frontier of the field of mathematical population theory. Topics
include existence and uniqueness of solutions, steady-state analysis,
stability and bifurcation theory, and adaptive dynamics.

Prerequisites for the course are a solid background in undergraduate
mathematics (analysis, linear algebra, probability) and a genuine interest
in biology.

The course starts on April 3 and ends on May 5, 2006. There will be 8 hours
of lectures per week. Graduate as well as advanced undergraduate students
and young researchers from other universities are welcome and can join the
course free of charge; we however cannot provide financial assistance for
travel and subsistence.
