Math 214S: Modeling of Biological Systems (Seminar) Instructor: J. Harer This course is a research seminar on methods for modelling biological systems. The exact content will be based on the interests of the students who will be expected to complete an individual modelling project by the end of the course. The start will be a review of methods of differential equations and probability, and then it will move to the use of these techniques in the development of models in biology. The first half of the course will be lecture and discussion based, while the second half will consist of student presentations on their individual projects and class discussions. Projects will be agreed upon with the professor during the first weeks of the course. This course cannot be taken by students who have already taken MBS200S as it serves as the capstone course for the MBS certificate.
