Credits: 4

Grad Meth: Reg, Aud

Recommended: Coding knowledge.

Cross-listed with: BIPH706.

Jointly offered with: BSCI435.

Credit only granted for: BIOL706, BIPH706 or BSCI435.

Establishes quantitative principles of how living systems work across scales from cells to organisms to populations while connecting mechanisms, models, and measurements. Traditional lectures are combined with computational modules available in Python, R, and MATLAB to help interdisciplinary students from physics, engineering, mathematics, computing, and the life sciences move from learning in the classroom to doing research in practice.
