Computational Methods in Biomedical Research
Course Description:
Nearly every area of modern research in biology and biomedical science is targeted in one way or another on gaining quantitative understanding of the behavior of biological systems. This course will focus on practical techniques for simulation and analysis of biological systems, developed largely through application-driven examples. Examples will be developed to a depth at which models will be used to analyze real biological or physiological data. To accomplish this the important details of the underlying biological systems must be described along with complete step-by-step development of model assumptions, the resulting equations, and computer code. Necessary prerequisites are a proficient understanding of undergraduate calculus, familiarity with introductory concepts of linear algebra, and access to any conveniently available language or programming environment such as Fortran, C, Matlab, or Mathematica.
