BMEN 6820 Fundamentals of Mathematical Modeling and Analysis of Biological Systems
Fundamentals of Mathematical Modeling and Analysis of Biological Systems
The objective of this course is to teach basic mathematical modeling constructs and analysis techniques that are used for studying biological processes. Topics to be covered include ordinary differential equations, compartment systems, basics of dynamic systems, stability, statistical inference and model construction. These will be applied to study models of chemical kinetics, physiological control, AIDS transmission, population dynamics, and growth. Students will use Mathematica to develop and analyze models.
Pre-requistites: MATH 2240. Open only to graduate students.
