MATH 19A: Modeling and Differential Equations for the Life Sciences

John Cain
MATH 19A    |      Last offered Fall 2024

Considers the construction and analysis of mathematical models that arise in the life sciences, ecology and environmental life science. Introduces mathematics that include multivariable calculus, differential equations in one or more variables, vectors, matrices, and linear and non-linear dynamical systems. Taught via examples from current literature (both good and bad).

Recommended Prep: A course in one variable calculus preferably at the level of Mathematics 1b.
