• Workshop on Morphometrics, Morphogenesis and Mathematics

    CMSA 20 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA, United States

    In Fall 2018, the CMSA will host a Program on Mathematical Biology, which aims to describe recent mathematical advances in using geometry and statistics in a biological context, while also considering a range of physical theories that can predict biological shape at scales ranging from macromolecular assemblies to whole organ systems. The plethora of natural shapes that surround […]

  • Mathematical Biology

    CMSA 20 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA, United States

    During Academic year 2018-19, the CMSA will be hosting a Program on Mathematical Biology. Just over a century ago, the biologist, mathematician and philologist D’Arcy Thompson wrote “On growth and form”. The book was a visionary synthesis of the geometric biology of form at the time. It also served as a call for mathematical and physical approaches […]
