Professor Wendy Seward a member of this department will
speak on ``Rabid Foxes and PDE Software''.

ABSTRACT

Many  parabolic  partial  differential equations in one
dimension  can  be  solved  efficiently  using general-
purpose  software  based  on the method of lines.  Such
problems  occur  quite  frequently in the model systems
developed  in  mathematical  biology.   A  new software
package,   SPRINT   (from  Leeds  University,  UK),  is
discussed  through its use in the numerical solution of
a  model of the spread of rabies in foxes, developed by
Prof.  J.D.  Murray  and  associates, Oxford University
Centre for Mathematical Biology.
