Class Detail

Introduction to mathematical modeling of systems in biology and the environment. Mathematical topics include functions, sequences, conceptual calculus and differential equations, taught through examples, computation, and visualization. Computational tools include interactive graphing software, spreadsheets, and a high-level programming language (e.g., Python). Modeling systems in the environment, ecology, evolution, cell, and molecular biology. Representing systems in state space, and studying change through derivatives. Analyzing equilibria in one- and two-dimensional systems.

Prerequisite(s): MATH 3 or AM 3 or mathematics placement (MP) score of 300 or higher or AP Calculus AB exam score of 3 or higher.
