BIOE 5880 — Computational Methods in Systems Bioengineering
4 semester hoursGraduateLectureusually offered: springtypical days: FBostonOnlinePortland, MaineLive CastTraditionalVideo Streaming
Introduces students to the use of computational methods in studies of systems biology, computational bioengineering, and data science and their extended utilities in a wide variety of applications in science and engineering. Covers basic elements of numerical methods and algorithms for solving different types of differential equations, running simulations, and performing optimization and data analysis. Emphasizes the concept and principle of each algorithm and its usage in R programming in the context of real-world applications in systems biology, bioinformatics, computational biology, and data science.
