The aim of this course is to introduce mathematics as applied in quantitative study of biological systems. Use of ordinary and partial differential equations (ODEs and PDEs) will be emphasized in this course. Both exact and numerical solution of ODEs will be discussed. We also plan to briefly introduce dynamical systems theory to elucidate the behavior of ODE solutions. Application of mathematical approaches in biological data analysis and to solve problems of biomedical / technological relevance will be discussed.
