MATH 76.04 Modeling and Simulation of Living Systems

Mathematical models play a key role in formulating null hypotheses for biological phenomenon and developing informative experiments. This course surveys stochastic and deterministic mathematical models of living systems, from single-cells to populations, and highlights their role in guiding experimental biology. An emphasis is placed on the multi-scale nature of biology and how processes on different scales interact with each other. Students also learn to perform simulations and data analysis in python.

The Courses@Dartmouth contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
