Course Description:
An introduction to the design and use of models and simulations in the quantitative description of physiological systems. These powerful tools are used to study membrane biophysics and neural modeling, cardiovascular system dynamics, muscle contraction, biomechanics, insulin-blood glucose regulation and pharmacokinetics. Students develop and use mathematical models based on ordinary, nonlinear and stochastic differential equations that are solved numerically by digital computer. These models provide dynamic and steady-state information about the physiological systems under study. This course is designed for upper-level students in engineering and the life sciences. Significant engineering and software design is incorporated in homework assignments. |
