608 - Mathematical Methods for Continuum Modeling in Biology

Prerequisites: 
Math 322; Math 415; Math 514, or cons inst
Credits: 
3
Background and Goals: 

Intended to provide a rigorous foundation for mathematical modeling of biological systems. The mathematical emphasis is on partial differential equations, particularly reaction-diffusion and transport equations. Biological applications include bacterial chemotaxis, spatio-temporal ecological dynamics, and cell-level reactions.
