BIOSC 1545 - THE MATHEMATICS OF BIOLOGY

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
This course uses specific examples from biology to illustrate how mathematics has been used to increase our understanding of biological systems. Some of the topics that we will cover come from neurobiology, cell biology, and human physiology. For each topic, we will present key mathematical concepts that will give students a new perspective on biology. Standard computer packages will be used to solve the mathematical models, giving the students hands on computer experience. In the final weeks, students will pick a topic of interest and construct their own model by using many of the techniques learned earlier in the course.
