There is a class called “Mathematical Biology” which can fulfill one of the requirements of my degree. I am quite interested in biology and the instructor who will be teaching the course is my major advisor and therefore I registered for the class. But the last time I took biology was in high school and therefore I wonder how much biology I need to know for this course. It shouldn’t be much I suppose, but I want to double check with someone who have taken the course so that I will not find myself in a complete strange land next fall.
the course description:“An introduction to developing, simulating, and analyzing models to answer biological questions. Mathematical topics may include matrix models, non-linear difference and differential equations, and stochastic models. Biological topics may include ecology, epidemiology, evolution, molecular biology, and physiology.”
