Course details
Biological system modelling
MOB Acad. year 2003/2004 Winter semester 6 credits
Biological (medical and ecological) system, desriction of its properties. Planning experiments with biological systems. Theoretical approaches used for modelling biologcial systems (compartmental systems, deterministic chaos, fractals, theory of catastrophes, celular systems). Description of basic biological models - models of population dynamics, epidemiological and psychological models, models of biochemical processes, models of tissue structure, examples of basic models of human organism (cardiovascular system, endocrine system, etc.)
