The seven National Science Foundation Mathematical Sciences Institutes have launched a web portal www.mathinstitutes.org featuring
- A description of and easy access to all seven institutes:
- American Institute of Mathematics (AIM) in Palo Alto
- Institute for Advanced Studies (IAS) in Princeton
- Institute for Mathematics and its Applications (IMA) in Minneapolis
- Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics (IPAM) in Los Angeles
- Mathematical Biosciences Institute (MBI) in Columbus
- Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (MSRI) in Berkeley
- Statistical and Applied Mathematical Institute (SAMSI) in Research Triangle Park.
- An events database that can be browsed or searched by institute, keyword, dates, and program length.
- A collection of research highlights describing some of the scientific outcomes of the institutes' programs.
- A search box that interacts with Google.

This intensive short course is designed
to efficiently provide researchers in the mathematical sciences and related
disciplines the basic knowledge prerequisite to undertake research in fluid
dynamics relevant to the biological realm.
The course will be taught by Michael J. Shelley, Professor of
Mathematics at the Courant Institute, NYU, and Raymond E. Goldstein, Professor
of Physics and Applied Mathematics at the University of Arizona.
The primary audience for the course is mathematics faculty;
the 25 participants were selected from a pool of more than 80 applicants.
The course will begin with an introduction to hydrodynamically mediated transport phenomena in biology across a broad range of scales, from micro- to macroscopic. This will be followed by lectures on basic incompressible fluid dynamics, flexible and biological materials, and their mutual coupling. The course will then pursue two overlapping tracks: Michael J. Shelley will lead discussions on the modeling, computation, and analysis of fluid-body interactions, what we learn from such models, basic mechanisms of biological locomotion, and the modeling of soft active materials. Raymond E. Goldstein will lead discussions on biophysical applications and modeling, especially at the micro-scale, including the dynamic flagella, chemotaxis, microscale stirring and locomotion and their relation to biological viability. Both lecturers will discuss experiments and models on large-scale dynamic coherence in biological systems.
A typical day during this two week course will consist of two general lectures by the principal speakers in the morning, each one-and-a-half hours in duration. Afternoons will be used for topical lectures by guest speakers— including Silas Alben (Harvard), John Bush (MIT), Lisa Fauci (Tulane University), Annette Hosoi (MIT), Thomas Powers (Brown University), Idan Tuval (University of Arizona), Z. Jane Wang (Cornell University), Charles Wolgemuth (University of Connecticut), Jun Zhang (New York University) —and for problem solving and brain-storming sessions.
