Prerequisite
Description
How tools in mathematics can help biologists. How questions in biology can motivate new mathematics.
Desired Learning Outcomes
Students should gain a familiarity with how the disciplines of mathematics and biology can complement each other.
Prerequisites
A knowledge of calculus (and the mathematical maturity that having passed Math 112 entails) should suffice.
Minimal learning outcomes
Students should be familiar with the following discrete and continuous models of biological phenomena. They should know the technical terms, and be able to implement the procedures taught in the course to solve problems based on these models.
- Signal transduction
- Menten Michaelis enzyme dynamics
- Law of mass action
- Dynamical systems
- Bifurcation
- Example systems
- Fitzhugh-Nagumo
- Nerve and heart dynamics
- Cell cycle model
- cAMP
- Population models
- Continuous predator-prey
- Age structured models
- Discrete dynamical systems
- Time delayed differential equations
- Stochastic models
Additional Topics
These are at the discretion of the instructor as time allows.
Courses for which this course is prerequisite
None.
