3.00 Credits
This course will develop 12 detailed case studies where mathematics has played a fundamental role in improving medical care. Each week will begin with the medical and biological background, showing both the underlying physiology and the medical problem, then move on to how mathematical or quantitative methods changed practice. Students will learn the underlying mathematical methods from the ground up, program simple simulations on the computer, and use the mathematics and computer simulations to evaluate the medical implications of different therapies or control measures. It is recommended that MATH 1170 or 1210 be completed prior to enrolling in this course. ((AP Calc AB score of 3+ OR ACT Math score of 28+ OR SAT score of 630+ OR Accuplacer CLM score of 95+ or AAF score 276+ OR "C-" or better in (MATH 1050 AND 1060) OR MATH 1080) OR BIOL 1620 OR 2010 OR 2020 OR 2021 OR 2030)) AND Instructor Consent.

3.00 Credits
Global changes are occurring that impact biological systems. In this course we will study the impact of globalization, warming, a changing atmosphere, altered hydrologic and nutrient, land-use changes, and other human-related activities on the Earth's biological and ecological systems. Emphases are placed evaluating information; on understanding the linkages between biological-physical processes; the impacts of humans in the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems; and consideration of both impacts and solutions to the challenges of global changes. Current global-scale issues, such as climate, biodiversity, sustainability, and ecosystem goods and services are examined from a scientific basis with the goal of understanding impacts and proposed solutions that will influence both natural systems as well as human society in 21st century
