SUMMARY:BPML: The emergent rhythms of health and disease: where mathematics, biology and medicine meet - Professor John Terry
UID:www.birmingham.ac.uk/183330
DESCRIPTION:A Birmingham Popular Maths Lecture from Professor John Terry.\n
 Rhythms are everywhere! In this talk I will introduce many of the rhythms that we take for granted and consider how mathematics can help us to understand them. I will focus on two important areas: stress, and how our body responds to stressors, and epilepsy, a serious neurological condition that affects 1% of the global population. In each case, I will describe some of the common rhythms that ensure our bodies and minds respond appropriately, as well as exploring – using mathematics – what can go wrong.\n
 We will be running the Birmingham Popular Maths Lecture series online for this academic year.\n
 The lectures are open to all members of public and the University. Particularly suitable for those studying mathematics at A-level but we also welcome advanced GCSE students. Please register to attend the lecture. There will be time at the end for questions.\n
