Introduction to Mathematical Biology. 3 credits, 3 contact hours

Catalog description

Prerequisites: MATH 211 with a grade of C or better or MATH 213 with a grade of C or better and MATH 222 with a grade of C or better. This course provides an introduction to the use of mathematical techniques applied to problems in biology. Discrete and continuous models of biological phenomena will be discussed. Biological topics discussed range from the subcellular molecular systems and cellular behavior to physiological problems, population biology and developmental biology. Techniques of phase plane analysis for differential equations are introduced in the course. No prior background in biology is necessary.
