Calculus for the Biosciences

MAT 1193 Calculus for the Biosciences. (3-0) 3 Credit Hours. (TCCN = MATH 2313)

Prerequisite: MAT 1093 or an equivalent course or satisfactory performance on a placement examination. An introduction to calculus is presented using discrete-time dynamical systems and differential equations to model fundamental processes important in biological and biomedical applications. Specific topics to be covered are limits, continuity, differentiation, antiderivatives, definite and indefinite integrals, the fundamental theorem of calculus, differential equations, and the phase-plane. (Formerly MAT 1194. Credit can be earned for only one of the following: MAT 1193, MAT 1194, or MAT 1214.) May apply toward the Core Curriculum requirement in Mathematics. Generally offered: Fall, Spring, Summer. Course Fees: DL01 $72; LRC1 $12; LRS1 $45; STSI $21.
