Dynamics and Stochastics

Catalog description

This course provides a synthesis of mathematical problems at the interface between stochastic problems and dynamical systems that arise in systems biology. For instance, in some biological systems some species may be modeled stochastically while other species can be modeled using deterministic dynamics. Topics will include an introduction to biological networks, multiscale analysis, analysis of network structure, among other topics. Prerequisites: probability theory ( APMA 2630 / 2640 , concurrent enrollment in APMA 2640 is acceptable).
