Course detail

Mathematics and Applied Mathematics: Students registering for CMSC 201 or 255, MATH 131, 141, 151, 200, 211 or 300, or STAT 208 or 210 must place into these courses either from receiving VCU credit for the stated prerequisite courses (for instance, MATH 151 is a stated prerequisite course for MATH 200) or from a satisfactory score (within a 39-month period immediately preceding the beginning of the course) on the VCU Mathematics Placement Test. For students entering VCU after July 1, 2005, placement into MATH 141 also may be achieved with a satisfactory combination of high school grade point average and SAT mathematics score.

MATH 582 Computational Modeling in Mathematical Biology: Semester course; 3 lecture hours. 3 credits. Prerequisites: MATH 301 and 310, or permission of instructor. Will focus on computer applications in the modeling process of biological and medical phenomena. This process involves the theoretical development of the model, implementation of a computational solution and validation using experimental data. Applications will be drawn from areas such as physiology, ecology and epidemiology.
