Mathematics 437:
Mathematical Methods in Biology
PREREQUISITES: Ordinary differential equations (Mathematics 315 or 325)
DESCRIPTION: Mathematics 437 is a one semester biomathematics course that
gives final year undergraduates a comprehensive introduction to the many
faceted ways in which mathematics and the biological and clinical sciences
interact with each other to the benefit of all through mathematical modeling.
Computer laboratories using the software XPP-AUTO are an integral part
of the course work. Offered in alternate years with Physics 413.
TIME: Tuesday and Thursday, 2.30 - 4:.00 p.m.

Fall 2006
Physics 198-413A:
The Physical Basis of Physiology
PREREQUISITES: Ordinary differential equations (Mathematics 315 or 325)
DESCRIPTION: Physics 413 is a one semester course designed to introduce
students to the elements of nonlinear dynamics and bifurcation theory
in biomathematics. The course comprises a mixture of lectures and computer
laboratories using the software XPP AUTO. Offered in alternate years with
Mathematics 437.
TIME: Tuesday & Thursday, 14.30 - 16.00, 5 September through 30 November,
2006.

Research
Areas
Biological, physical
and economic systems whose dynamics are described by delay- differential
or functional differential equations.
Current biological research includes:
- An examination
of hematological dynamics in cyclical neutropenia
- Modeling periodic
chronic myelogenous leukemia
- Modeling of the
regulation of the Lac operon
- Modeling of the
lysis/lysogeny switch in phage lambda
- Modeling the dynamic
behaviour of yeast in continuous culture
Physically motivated
research includes:
- A study of the
entropy evolution dynamics in systems whose dynamics are dependent on
past history
- Examination of
the quantized behaviour of systems with symmetric past and future interaction
dynamics
- Study of the quantized
and entropic behaviour of trace systems with respect to the connections
between quantum physics and thermodynamics
- Development of
Brownian motion - like behaviour in deterministic systems
