The Marden Lecture

Each Spring we invite a distinguished mathematician to lecture to a general audience. The Marden Lecture honors Morris Marden (1905 - 1991), who founded our graduate program and made our department a research department. The Marden lecture is funded through the Miriam and Morris Marden Fund and is co-sponsored by the Department of Mathematical Sciences.

"Infectious Disease, Epidemics, Public Health, and Mathematical Models"

Wednesday, April 10, 2013, 5:00PM
Chemistry Building, Room 190
3210 N Cramer Street Milwaukee, WI
University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee

The lecture is free and open to the public.
