VIEW ALL COURSE TIMES AND SESSIONS

Prerequisites

Differential equations and some experience in programming.

Description

This half-credit course discusses classical mathematical models of biological systems, with emphasis on the modeling process. Modeling tools used include ordinary and partial differential equations as well as agent-based frameworks. Topics may include chemotaxis, cellular aggregation, morphogenesis, and other classical systems that lend themselves to mathematical modeling. No biological background is required. No textbook required; lecture notes are provided.
