Number of credits: 1
Opening period: All year
Day time: 5th month (16: 30-18: 00)
Venue: Seminar Room, 1st Floor, F Building, School of Medicine Campus
Class format: Lectures / practices
Course requirements: Being able to bring a laptop
Class outline / purpose:
It provides an introduction to mathematics, statistics, and computational biology, which are the basic knowledge necessary for interdisciplinary fusion research in life science these days.
The target is graduate students who mainly belong to the experimental life science laboratory and are interested in mathematical, statistical, and computational biology.
The purpose is to understand this knowledge and apply it to my research.
Attainment target:
Based on the above knowledge, it will be possible to describe various life phenomena with mathematical models, verify operating principles and extract working hypotheses through computer simulations.
Lesson plan: See itinerary below

Grade evaluation method / viewpoint and achievement level:
【Evaluation method】
Evaluate by a small report submitted to each instructor. Small reports are evaluated based on the degree of achievement of the achievement goal.
Details will be explained at the start of the course.
【Evaluation criteria】
Emphasis is placed on attendance and, in principle, submission of reports to all instructors.
