Description:

Prereq: 110.201(Linear Algebra), 110.302 (Differential equations) or 550.291 (Linear Algebra and Differential Equations) This course introduces students to modeling and analysis of biological systems. The first portion of the course focuses on linear systems. Topics include harmonic oscillators, pharmacokinetics, reaction-diffusion equation, heat transfer, and fluid flow. The second half of the course focuses on non-linear systems. Topics include iterated maps, bifurcations, chaos, stability of autonomous systems, the Hodgkin-Huxley model, bistability, limit cycles, and the Poincare-Bendixson theorem. The course also introduces students to the Matlab programming language, which allows them to implement the models discussed in class.
