Computational Biology (Cross-listed as COMP 436)

Catalog description

Four hours lecture per week Prerequisite(s): MATH 150 and Junior Standing Students will translate mathematical models and biological concepts into computer programs and data visualizations. Biological concepts cover predator-prey interactions, logistic growth models, and cellular diffusion. Students will use a common programming language to analyze real-world biological datasets. This course will utilize peer teaching where students will work in teams coupling biology students with computer science students.
