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 2021, we will use Zoom to teach.
Join the Zoom lecture from the link that appears in each individual's PandA account.
Name of person in charge:
Tadashi Imayoshi (Graduate School of Life Sciences)
Yusuke Suzuki (Graduate School of Life Sciences)
Kenta Terai (Graduate School of Medicine)
Takeshi Hirashima (Graduate School of Life Sciences)
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:
We provide introductory knowledge and techniques of mathematical, statistical, and computational biology necessary for interdisciplinary fusion research in recent life sciences. The main target is graduate students who belong to the experimental laboratory of life science and are interested in mathematics. The purpose is to be able to utilize it in 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.
