Course abstract
Mathematical modeling has become integral part of different fields of biology, from ecology to cell biology. This course is intended to introduce students of biology to elementary mathematical concepts and tools for dynamical models. The course will focus on modeling using ordinary differential equations (ODEs). We will start with basic mathematical concepts of ODE-based models and then connect those with experimental biology. Mathematical models will be on cellular and molecular processes in biology, like cell signaling, and transcriptional networks. Students will learn basics of analytical techniques, graphical techniques, and numerical simulation.

Final Score Calculation Logic
- Assignment Score = Average of best 3 out of 4 assignments.
- Final Score(Score on Certificate)= 75% of Exam Score + 25% of Assignment Score
- NOTE: As announced earlier, we are not considering Assignment 1 marks for calculation.
