BIOL 345 - Introduction to Mathematical Biology

This course focuses on using mathematical techniques to model biological systems ranging from the molecular to the community scale. Topics from matrix algebra, differential equations, discrete mathematics, probability and statistics are introduced and developed through lectures, computer-based exercises, and readings from the scientific literature. Completion of at least two semesters of college-level coursework (i.e., sophomore status) is strongly recommended for enrollment in this course. Cross-listed as MATH 345 - Introduction to Mathematical Biology.
