BIOL 5400 - Mathematics in Medicine

Institution:

University of Utah

Subject:

Biology

Description:

This course will develop 12 detailed case studies where mathematics has played a fundamental role in improving medical care. Each week will begin with the medical and biological background, showing both the underlying physiology and the medical problem, then move on to how mathematical or quantitative methods changed practice. Students will learn the underlying mathematical methods from the ground up, program simple simulations on the computer, and use the mathematics and computer simulations to evaluate the medical implications of different therapies or control measures. It is recommended that MATH 1170 or 1210 are completed prior to enrolling in this course. ((AP Calc AB score of 3+ OR ACT Math score of 28+ OR SAT score of 630+ OR Accuplacer CLM score of 95+ or AAF score 276+ OR "C-" or better in (MATH 1050 AND 1060) OR MATH 1080) OR BIOL 1620 OR 2010 OR 2020 OR 2021 OR 2030)) AND Instructor Consent.
