The student will be expected to learn the elements of computer programming, with a view to the design and analysis of experiments, and the theoretical analysis of measured data. The remainder of the lectures will deal largely with the solution of ordinary differential equations, with emphasis on those equations that are encountered most commonly in the biological sciences. Elementary numerical solution of differential equations. Introduction to the Laplace transform and the use of linear systems theory in physiology. The elements of curve fitting .
Problems sets require some biological knowledge.
Primer on computer programming, varies with the language being taught.
