The continuous interaction between scientific inquiry and mathematical development has historically driven the growth of mathematics as a discipline. Fields such as quantum mechanics, economics, and computer science have consistently presented challenges that have pushed the boundaries of mathematical knowledge. We propose to organize a workshop which aims to facilitate this type of interaction between the field of cancer modeling and mathematics. We believe that now is a perfect time for this, because mathematical oncology, as a field, has reached a certain degree of maturity and accumulated a larger number of unsolved, fascinating problems. There has also been a significant explosion in the quantity, quality, and types of available data. A conversation between computational scientists studying cancer and mathematicians will serve two highly desirable goals: (1) using novel mathematical tools to solve the scientific problems, and (2) the science of cancer giving rise to new mathematics.

This workshop will include a poster session; a request for posters will be sent to registered participants in advance of the workshop.
