Module title:Advanced Topics in Mathematical & Computational Biology
Module codeMTHM009
Module lecturers:Dr James Rankin
Module credits:15

This course will cover mathematical and computational approaches that are widely used in current research on a range of topics investigating dynamics in biology, including neuroscience. The dynamical phenomena covered in this course, such as bi-stability, oscillations and synchronisation occur in a wide range of biological systems. Mathematical approaches such as bifurcation and network analysis will be taught alongside their computational counterparts relying on the implementation of robust numerical methods. The module will be delivered through a combination of lectures and computer lab sessions.

This module is recommended for mathematical-biology track students.

Pre-requisites: MTH3039 or MTH3006

Co-requisites: NSCM005 or MTHM018
