MATH 432 Continuous Mathematical Models in Biology

This course applies mathematical theory and techniques to biological and biomedical applications. The course focuses on continuous mathematical modelling techniques with applications to single species and interacting population dynamics. The course introduces modeling of infections, cell populations, single-cell decision-making, tissue pattern formation, and cancer modeling. Biological models are analyzed and interpreted using mathematical tools such as phase portraits, bifurcation diagrams, and perturbation theory.
