Introduction to Mathematical Biology II

4 credits

Part two of a two-course introduction to the use of mathematical theory and techniques in analyzing biological problems. Topics include partial differential equations and stochastic processes applied to a selection of biological problems, especially those involving spatial movement such as molecular diffusion, bacterial chemotaxis, tumor growth, and biological patterns. May be coscheduled with MATH 112B. Recommended preparation: Probability Theory and Stochastic Processes. Prerequisites: MATH 212A and graduate standing.
