Welcome to the 30th Anja S. Greer Conference on Mathematics, Science and Technology being held June 22 - June 27, 2014 at Phillips Exeter Academy. If this is your first time to the conference, use our interactive map to get to know the campus. Registration is held at the Phelps Academy Center and classes are primarily in the Phelps Science Center or the Academy Center. You can find your dorm by using the buiding filters. Your conference "Welcome Letter" includes your dorm assignment. Please note on the map, the dorms are listed as male or female. The gender assignment of the dorms may change the week of the conference based on our needs. Using the schedule below, you can build your individual schedule by clicking on the "star" of the sessions you will attend. For your (2) weeklong courses, please refer to your "Welcome Letter" for courses listed by period. Our Conference within a Conference (CWIC) sessions are included in this schedule. During your free time, you can attend as many CWIC sessions as you’d like. You do not have to pre-register for CWIC sessions, these are open to all to attend. Just "star" the sessions you are interested in attending. Your individual schedule will be created. You can print it or push it to a mobile device.
Classical mathematics (calculus/differential equations/statistics) has been the cornerstone of our understanding of the physical world for the last 250 years. But there are many areas of life in which our classical models have not been able to penetrate. New models are needed to understand such phenomena as traffic flow, the spread of forest fires, the fragility of communications networks, the spread of infectious disease within a social network, the origin of cooperation in a society of insects or of people and many other problems in the biological and social sciences. In this talk we will look at new mathematical models of the world that have emerged in the last 15 years and get a glimpse of the mathematical methods our students will use in their careers.
