Review of techniques of multivariate calculus, convergence and limits, matrix analysis, vector space basics, and Lagrange multipliers. This course is a review of topics in linear algebra and advanced calculus that students should have encountered in their undergraduate studies. The methods and concepts covered are essential for more advanced work in applied mathematics.
This class will survey many of the key techniques used in diverse aspects of computational biology. We will focus on how to successfully formulate a statement of the problem to be solved, and how that formulation can guide in selecting the most suitable computational approach. A set of problems from a diverse range of problems in biology will be used as examples. Note: Informatic methods for genomic analysis (such as data mining and analysis of nucleic acid and protein sequences) will not be covered. These topics are covered thoroughly in CSE 549.
