Course objectives
The main goal of this lecture is to introduce basic principles of mathematical modelling using recent information and communication technologies (ICT). Students will use the Maple system to solve easy mathematical models of biological systems. The methodology of interpreting obtained approximate results and techniques of its specification will also be lectured. Students are requested to individually solve an easy biological problem using the Maple system to pass the final exam.
Syllabus
  • Introduction to mathematical modelling and its classification.
  • The problem definition, biological model, simplifying assumptions, initial and edge conditions.
  • Mathematical model proposal, correctness analysis solving method proposal.
  • Model implementation using recent ICT (Maple, Matlab, Internet) and its approximate solution.
  • Analysis of the approximate solution using computer visualization techniques and estimation of approximate solution error.
  • Process methodology used to specification of the mathematical model using up-to-date ICT and information sources (Internet, electronic libraries, etc.).
  • Examples of chosen biological problems and methodology of their solving.
  • Project setting.
  • Results discussion, impact of the simplifications on the result, visualization, animation of the result.
