BIOS 23408 - Modeling and Computer Simulation of Evolution

Institution:

University of Chicago

Subject:

Description:

Basic computer programming skills or willingness to learn some programming recommended. This course introduces the creation of theoretical models to describe and predict biological processes. Students learn how to implement these models on a computer and how to explore the properties of the models by computer simulation. We draw from examples in evolutionary biology that describe the evolution of organisms within and between species. We may also consider models from ecology or infectious disease epidemiology. R.
