Course Description:
This is an introductory seminar to show students the real application of mathematics in science where closely related to human activities. The topics of the seminar include but not limited to population dynamics, epidemic modeling, ion channel modeling, atmosphere model, and so on. No advanced mathematics is required for taking this seminar, just some enthusiastic towards STEM, some courage to observe weird math symbols and some patience to learn how to talk to computers is all that needed. Students will discover the history of development of some specific areas and learn the very basic mathematics intuition behind the model. Students will also have opportunities to utilize simple algorithms to visualize result without previous coding experience. |
