Course aim
The aims of the summer school:
1. To deepen and extend the knowledge of students (university level - bachelor, master and doctoral (PhD) students), as well as researchers in the fields of nonlinear dynamics, medical engineering and physics by means of regular lectures and educational sessions. Students have to be educated in mathematical calculus, general physics, and basics of computing technologies;
2. To teach students how to use certain mathematical methods and computing tools for the analysis of various processes;
3. To help them gain skills in research methodology of complex systems by means of a computer experiment;
4. To carry out practical exercises/experiments in research laboratories on the basis of an science converging approach;
5. To promote social and professional networking during the lectures and social events;
6. To introduce Latvia, its history and culture.
