BIO 465 - Techniques for Modeling Biological Systems
An eclectic survey of biological systems requiring quantitative approaches, and the main deterministic modeling techniques used to study them (except partial differential equations). Modeling techniques include introductions to difference equations, matrix algebra, calculus, and differential equations, plus relevant computer methods, with no prior knowledge assumed. Offered fall semester. Cross-listed with NRM 465. Dual-listed with BIO 565. Prerequisites: Junior or senior standing with a major in any of the biological sciences, engineering, or statistics, STA 215, and either MTH 122 or MTH 124 or MTH 125 or MTH 210 or higher.
