Introductory course in mathematical, statistical and computational biology for experimental biologists [1 credit (year-round)]
Basic Course in Mathematical, Statistical and Computational Biology for Experimental Biologists.
In 2020, we will use Zoom to teach.
Join the Zoom lecture from the link that appears in each individual's PandA account.

Dividend grade: Master
Number of credits: 1
Opening period: All year
Day time: 5th month (16: 30-18: 00)
Class format: Lectures / practices
Language used: Japanese
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.

* The lesson plan and contents will be explained in the lecture (Zoom) on May 25, so please attend.
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】
As a general rule, focus on attendance and report submission. After each lecture, we will give a task to judge whether we understand the lecture contents, so we will submit it at the next lecture.
