MATH 432 Mathematical Methods in Biology

This course applies mathematical theory and techniques to Biology and Biomedicine. The course focuses on continuous mathematical modelling techniques with applications to cell population dynamics, single cell decision-making, tissue pattern formation, and cancer modeling. The course introduces discrete probabilistic modelling techniques, such as cellular automata and Langevin equations, with a focus on cell migration and dynamics of bacterial colony and tumors.
