The aim of the course is to present the mathematical methods which a most often used in biology, biophysics and medical physics
The knowledge of calculus, linear algebra and mathematical methods of physics is assumed.
Studying complex systems with interactions
Biological complex systems with interactions
Probabilistic methods in biological systems
Probability theory in bioinformatics
Stochastic processes
The dynamics of contagious diseases in animals and humans
Monte Carlo methods in experimental medical physics
Exercises to the lecture concern specific topics, increase calculation skills. The emphasis is on differential equations, probability theory problems, stochastic processes analysis and mathematical foundations of simulational methods.
In addition to traditional lectures multimedia resources are used, the internet etc. In exercises students gain skills while calculating thermodynamic features of the physical systems, they participate in the discussion.
