Intro to Mathematical Biology.

Catalog description

This course is 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 conversation biology, genetics, and physiology. Mathematics and computational methods to be reviewed include functions in biology, difference and differential equations, integration as needed, probability, numerical matrix algebra and curve fitting software. Students can receive credit either for MATH 352 or BIOL 352 but not for both. Prerequisites: MATH 260 Calculus I, BIOL 120 Principles of Biology I and BIOL 121 Principles of Biology II, or consent of instructor.
