MODELING BIOLOGICAL SYSTEMS

Catalog description

Students will determine the topics covered in this research seminar on mathematical methods for modeling biological systems based on their own research interests. Students will review mathematical methods of differential equations and probability, and discuss how to use mathematical techniques in development of models in biology. The seminar is highly interactive and students are expected to contribute to presentations and class discussions on individual research projects. In the first weeks of the course each student will work with the instructor to agree upon a substantial final individual student modeling project that the student will develop over the course of the class. 001438
