Textbook: Mathematics for the Biosciences by Michael Cullen Meets: MWF 9:05—9:55 AM in Ayres 214 Note: If you are signed up for this course, please log-in to Blackboard to find assignments due dates, course handouts and other class information. Course overview: This course, a continuation of Math 151, will provide an introduction to a variety of mathematical topics of use in analyzing problems arising in the biological sciences. It is designed for students in biology, agriculture, forestry, wildlife, pre-medicine and other pre-health professions. The general aim of the sequence is to show how mathematical and analytical tools may be used to explore and explain a wide variety of biological phenomena that are not easily understood with verbal reasoning alone. This course includes a laboratory component which makes use of computer facilities in the Math Department. No prior background in the use of the main software package for the course (Maple) is expected, though from their exposure to another package in Math 151 (Matlab) students are expected to be able to rapidly utilize this other program. |
