- APMA 1940N: Introduction to Mathematical
Models in Computational Biology
Instructor: Suzanne Sindi
Tuesday, Thursday 10:30–11:50 a.m. (I Hour)
This course is designed to introduce students to the use of mathematical models
in biology as well as some more recent topics in computational biology. Mathematical
techniques will involve difference equations and dynamical systems theory, ordinary
differential equations and some partial differential equations. These techinques
will be applied in the study of many biological applications such as: (i) Difference
Equations: population dynamics, red blood cell production, population genetics;
(ii) Ordinary Differential Equations: predator¿prey models, Lotka¿Volterra
model, modeling the evolution of the genome, heart beat model/cycle, tranmission
dynamics of HIV and gonorrhea; (iii) Partial Differential Equations: tumor growth,
modeling evolution of the genome, pattern formation. Prerequisites: AM 33 and
34 (APMA 0330 and 0340).
