MATH 340 - Modeling Biological Systems

Credit(s): 3
Lecture: 2
Non-Lecture: 2
Crosslisted with: BIOL 340.
Computer and mathematical models are increasingly important tools used to understand complex biological systems. Under the guidance of biology and mathematics professors, students will work both individually and in groups to develop, analyze and present models of various biological systems ranging from disease models and diffusion processes to ecosystem dynamics. The course involves two hours of lectures and a two hour computer-based laboratory. Offered spring, even years and when demand is sufficient.

Prerequisite(s): MATH 222 and at least one of the following: BIOL 203, BIOL 222, MATH 223.
