MATH 432 Continuous Mathematical Models in Biology

This course explores mathematical modeling in biological systems, covering population dynamics, disease modeling, and reaction-diffusion equations. Students learn to use tools such as phase portraits, bifurcation diagrams, and stability analysis. Advanced topics include traveling waves, molecular diffusion, and advection-diffusion. The course also examines enzyme kinetics, tissue formation, and cancer modeling. These models provide insights into complex biological processes.
