Intro to Mathematical Biology.

Catalog description

designed to develop mathematical models in biology and study the behavior of such models using numerical techniques and review the mathematical concepts behind many important biological principles. Topics will be drawn from conservation biology, genetics, and physiology. Mathematics and computational methods to be reviewed include functions in biology, difference and continuous models, exponential and logarithmic functions, probability, numerical matrix algebra and curve fitting software. Students can receive credit for either MATH 352 OR BIOL 352 but not for both. Prerequisite: BIOL 121 Principles of Biology II, MATH 121 College Algebra and Trigonometry II, STAT 210 Elementary Statistics, or consent of instructor.
