Mathematics LS

Mathematics of Biological Systems: a Calculus-Based Approach (224377)

Janet Chen

2026 Spring (4 Credits)

Schedule: TBD

Instructor Permissions: N/A

Enrollment Cap: n/a

In this course, we will use mathematical modeling to understand the behavior of biological systems. We will focus on creating and understanding models using concepts from calculus, as well as using computational tools to explore the implications of such models. Although we will study ideas from calculus, this course has a much more applied focus than Math Mb.

Course Notes::

Students who intend to take Math 1b or Math 21a should take Math Mb. Pre-requisite: Math Ma
