Mathematical modeling is the art of mathematically analyzing a real-world problem and, applied to biology, informs both experimental design and outcomes. It is fast becoming a critical component of any biologist’s toolbox. This course, relying only on concepts from introductory calculus, will explore and develop a number of mathematical modeling tools in the context of biology, develop mathematical intuition into biological problems, and introduce a sophisticated mathematical software package to enable analysis.

Prerequisite(s): BIOL 120.3 or BIOL 121.3; and one of MATH 110.3, MATH 123.3, MATH 125.3, MATH 133.4, MATH 164.3, or MATH 176.3; and completion of 45 cu of university level courses.
