Mathematical Biology. (3-0) 3 Credit Hours

Catalog description

Prerequisite: MAT 1193 , MAT 1213 , or MAT 1214 , or consent of instructor. A broad introduction to nonlinear dynamics. Topics may include discrete and continuous models, flows on the line, linear stability analysis, matrix operations and eigenvalues, flows on the plane, bifurcations, discrete dynamical systems, higher-dimensional systems, and others. The biological problems studied include: Molecular processes (glycolysis, lactose operon, etc.), physiological processes (single neuron), and ecological processes (predator-prey, competing species, infectious disease modeling). (Same as MAT 4133 . Credit can not be earned for both MAT 4133 and MAT 5133 .) This course has Differential Tuition. Course Fee: GS01 $90.
