BIOL 388 Biomathematical Modeling

3 semester hours

Introduction to mathematical and statistical concepts closely related to research problems in biology. Biological topics include the structure, function, and regulation of the three major types of cellular pathways: metabolic, signaling, and gene regulatory pathways. Mathematical topics include statistical analysis of biological measurements, dynamic modeling of biological systems, and fitting models to observed data. Students will critically evaluate the primary literature and carry out three major modeling projects throughout the semester.

Prerequisites: BIOL 201 ; and MATH 123 or MATH 132 or MATH 204 with a grade of C (2.0) or higher.
