Description
Mathematics of Life
Course Goals: To expose young scientists to recent Theory driven advances in our understanding of Living systems.
Course Method: A reading course. Some essential background will be provided.
Target audience: Typically senior undergraduates and starting graduate students who are mathematically/physically inclined and interested in the life sciences.
Course description: Mathematical thinking is playing an increasingly dominant role in experimental design, data analysis, and the conceptual understanding of Life. Through reading a diversity of papers at the interface of mathematical and physical ways of thinking, and biological phenomena, we hope to expose young scientists to this field.
