This project is a Symposium on "Some Mathematical                          Questions in Biology" to be sponsored by the American                           Mathematical Society, the Society of Industrial and                             Applied Mathematics, and the Society for Mathematical                           Biology.  The symposium represents the twenty-second in                         a series and will be held in conjunction with the annual                        meeting of the Federation of American Societies for                             Experimental Biology in May 1988.  The annual meeting is                        supported by the National Science Foundation, the U.S.                          Steel Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, and                        the Institute for Defense Analyses.                                                  This symposium will focus on research questions                            related to the dynamics of excitable cells.  The topics                         will deal with an analysis of the transitions that lead                         to bursting, cardiac pacemaking and wave propagation in                         cardiac tissue, wave propagation in the aggregation                             phase of certain cell systems, and collective phenomena                         in the brain.  The overall goal is to expose biologists                         and physiologists to some of the more theoretical work                          being done by mathematicians, and to expose                                     mathematicians to some of the concrete modeling work                            being done on particular systems.
