Nonlinear Dynamics of Biological Systems
2.0
creditsAverage Course Rating
Analysis and simulation of nonlinear behavior in biological systems: bifurcations (cell-fate decision), limit cycles (cell-cycle, neuronal excitations), chaos, and maps. Matlab will be used to simulate these systems and motivate nonlinear analytic tools and stability analysis. Recommended course background: AS.110.201 Linear Algebra, AS.110.302 Differential Equations, or EN.553.292 Linear Algebra and Differential Equations.
