The course has two components, each covering roughly half the term.
(1) Differential equations applied to biological systems. Topics include
brief introductions to the matrix and multivariable calculus topics needed
to study systems of differential equations that model such phenomena as
competition, predator/prey interaction, and epidemics. (2) Introduction to
probability and inferential statistics, including hypothesis testing.
Students intending to take 200-level math courses should meet with the instructor
for advice -- Math 112 is often better preparation for these courses than Math 116.
There will be assignments, quizzes, two midterm tests, and an
exam after each of parts (1) and (2). The exam on part (2) of the course
will be in the regularly scheduled final examination time.
The schedule of courses on O.P.U.S. is the official listing of courses, including days and times they meet and the General Education Requirements they satisfy. Students should use course descriptions as general guidelines. Course requirements, grading details, book lists, and syllabi are subject to change.
