Surveys computational and mathematical modeling to illuminate biological processes. Students work together to learn to build and analyze models using a variety of numerical tools, tackle meaningful biological problems, and communicate effectively across disciplines. Specific topics: Langevin dynamics of protein folding, agent-based models, finite difference models of organismal growth, stochastic and deterministic cellular automata game of life, models of behavior. Recommended prerequisite: Linear Algebra (CSCI 2820 or CSCI2897 or MATH 2130 or MATH 2135 or APPM 2360 or APPM 3310), and intended for students in their third or fourth years of Computing or other majors. Same as CSCI 5314.
