Mathematics 4 - Applications of Calculus to Medicine and Biology

Institution:

Dartmouth College

Subject:

Description:

09W: 10A 10W: Arrange This course will establish the relevance of calculus to medicine. It will develop mathematical tools extending the techniques of introductory calculus, including some matrix algebra and solution techniques for first order differential equations. These methods will be used to construct simple and elegant models of phenomena such as the mutation of HIV, spread of infectious disease, and biological disposition of drugs and inorganic toxins, enzyme kinetics and population growth. Prerequisite: Mathematics 3. Note: This is a second-term calculus course, but it does not cover the same material as Mathematics 8, and does not serve as a prerequisite for Mathematics 13. There is a version of this course suitable for major credit: see Mathematics 27. Dist: QDS. Wallace.
