    Courses

Fall 2004

Biology 309 - Mathematical Models in Biology
<http://ww2.mcgill.ca/biology/undergrad/courses/c309a.html>
PREREQUISITES: 1 year of calculus; MATH 222 is also recommended; or
permission of instructor
DESCRIPTION: Mathematical Models in Biology is a course that gives the
student basic skills necessary to understand the ways mathematics can be
applied to study biological systems.
1) FINITE DIFFERENCE EQUATIONS IN BIOLOGY
    A) Dynamics in 1-dimensional finite difference equations modelling
    ecosystems including concepts of steady states, cycles and chaos.
    Boolean switching networks as applied to genetic regulation.
Cellular automata and fractals. 2) DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS
    A) One dimensional differential equations modelling growth and decay
    in biology. Second order linear and nonlinear differential equations
    modelling ecological, biochemical, and compartmental systems in
    biology. Stability analysis of first and second order nonlinear
    differential equations. Phase plane analysis of nonlinear second
order differential equations. TEXT: Understanding Nonlinear Dynamics

Leon Glass
TIME: Tuesday and Thursday, 11:30 a.m.- 1:00 p.m., room 1034, McIntyre
Building
