M6868/01: Thu 14:00–15:50 UP1
Prerequisites
Any course of calculus and linear algebra, a basic course of ordinary differential equations
Course Enrolment Limitations
The course is offered to students of any study field.
Course objectives
The aim of the course is to sketch some fundamentals of PDE theory and some advanced parts of ODE theory. The subject will be illustrated by selected deterministic models in biology.
Syllabus
  • 1. First order linear partial differential equations; population model with age distribution. 2. Second order partial differential equations, parabolic equation, separation of variables; spatially structured population models. 3. Reaction-diffusion; models of morphogenesis. 4. Delay ordinary differential equations; delay population models, delay models in physiology.
