BIOS 4190 - Computer Simulation in Biology
Introduction to computer modeling and simulation in biological research. Designed to illustrate the power and limitations of computer simulation by having students code (in software simulation programs like Berkeley Madonna or Matlab) simulation programs for a number of different biological phenomena. Quantitative models used include those of enzyme kinetics, population biology, population genetics, epidemics, diffusion, and compartmental models in physiology and system biology.
Requisites: MATH 2301 and 17 hours in BIOS and Sr only
Credit Hours: 3
General Education Code (students who entered prior to Fall 2021-22): 3
Repeat/Retake Information: May be retaken two times excluding withdrawals, but only last course taken counts.
Lecture/Lab Hours: 2.0 lecture, 2.0 laboratory
Grades: Eligible Grades: A-F,WP,WF,WN,FN,AU,I
Learning Outcomes: - Students are introduced to computer modeling and simulation in biology and learn the power and limitation of these techniques.
- Students will be able to fit models to data and explore the consequences of parameter variations.
- Students will be able to form mathematical models for biological problems and solve them with appropriate software and interpret the results.
