Mathematics 19A

Modeling and Differential Equations for the Life Sciences (110596)

John Cain

2024 Fall (4 Credits)

Schedule: MWF 1030 AM - 1145 AM

Instructor Permissions: None

Enrollment Cap: n/a

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).

Course Notes:
This course is recommended over Math 21a for those planning to concentrate in the life sciences and ESPP. Can be taken with or without Mathematics 21a,b. Students with interests in the social sciences and economics might consider Mathematics 18. This course can be taken before or after Mathematics 18.
Recommended Prep:
A course in one variable calculus preferably at the level of Mathematics 1b.
