MATH 76.04 Modeling and Simulation of Living Systems

Mathematical models play a key role in formulating null hypotheses for biological phenomenon and developing informative experiments. This course surveys stochastic and deterministic mathematical models of living systems, from single-cells to populations, and highlights their role in guiding experimental biology. An emphasis is placed on the multi-scale nature of biology and how processes on different scales interact with each other. Students also learn to perform simulations and data analysis in python.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
