I got so caught up in doing control theory yesterday that I completely forgot about a happenings post. Here it is a day late… and perhaps even a dollar short. Here’s a link to the use of the golden ratio in logo designs. I’ve finished the course in R and I’ve begin a new one, [...]

I’m going to keep this real short this morning. Today is “family day” at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and I’m going to visit the lab with a group of friends. I won’t get much, if any, math done today. Nevertheless, I have gotten some math done this week, so I should have a post [...]

It’s been a mildly interesting week. I have figured out how to change the default sequence of colors for multiple graphs. I’ll explain this in more detail in a Mathematica note, but let me show it to you now. Suppose we take the first 5 Legendre polynomials… and plot them. We actually got 5 distinct [...]

Daniela Calvetti Case Western Reserve University The Mathematics of Metabolic Networks The times when mathematics was relegated to the ivory tower are over Today mathematics is playing an important role in a lot of areas , from financial markets to medicine . In this talk we will see how important a mathematical framework is when trying tounderstand how human metabolism works under normal conditions and in disease states . Metabolic networks are naturally described in mathematical terms , as directed graphs , with nodes associated with biochemical species and edges with biochemical reactions , and the
