								3.00 Credits 
								Supercomputer architectures, parallel programming environments, languages, libraries, and algorithms for high-performance numerical simulations. Instructor/Department approval is required for this course.
 
							
						
						
							
								 
									
								3.00 Credits 
								Partial content will vary from semester to semester, but may include hyperbolic conservation laws, finite element methods, multigrid methods, and parallel algorithms for partial differential equations. Applications to scientific, biomedical, and industrial problems. Students should have basic knowledge of PDE's and a programming language.
 
							
						
						
							
								 
									
								3.00 Credits 
								Mathematical modeling of dynamical aspects of cell physiology. Diffusion, membrane transport, intracellular calcium channel kinetics, calcium oscillations and waves.
 
							
						
						
							
								 
									
								3.00 Credits 
								Mathematical modeling of electrochemical processes in nerve cells. Dendritic modeling, dendritic spines and synaptic plasticity, bifurcation analysis of excitable membrane models, deterministic and stochastic methods for threshold dynamics and bursting, relaxation oscillations. Students should have had a previous graduate-level PDE course.
 
							
						
						
							
								 
									
								3.00 Credits 
								Mathematical modeling of systems neuroscience. Network dynamics, coupled phase oscillators, central pattern generators, neural coding, learning and memory. Students should have taken ordinary differential equations or mathematical cell physiology or mathematical neuroscience prior to enrolling in this course.
 
							
						
						
							
								 
									
								3.00 Credits 
								Selectively covers population biology models in the forms of systems of difference equations or ordinary differential equations. Focuses on mathematical analysis of population models as well as model formulation and simulation. Students should have a previous graduate-level course in ODE.
 
							
						
						
							
								 
									
								3.00 Credits 
								Selectively covers population biology models in the form of partial differential equations and systems. Focuses on mathematical analysis of population models as well as model formulation and simulation. Students should have a previous basic graduate-level course in ODE and PDE.
 
							
						
						
							
								 
									
								3.00 Credits 
								Mathematical models for the etiology, epidemiology, pathogenesis, morphology and treatment of disease. Covers dynamical models of cancer and viral infections.
 
							
						
						
							
								 
									
								3.00 Credits 
								Markov processes, random walks, martingales, branching processes, logistic growth model, Wright-Fisher model, Kingman's coalescent, bound and site percolations, contact processes, voter models. Students should have previously taken course work in probability and/or stochastic processes (or have a recommendation from their advisor). Recommendation from advisor is typically for students in biology or physics that have not taken statistics courses but have a good background in mathematics.
 
							
						
						
							
								 
									
								3.00 Credits 
								Center manifolds, structural stability, normal forms, averaging, chaos, control and synchronization. Students should have a previous graduate course in ODE or applied analysis.
