Annotation -
Students will learn about different types of models based on ordinary (ODE) and partial (PDE) differential equations that are currently being studied in the fields of gene interaction networks, virology and pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics. Students will investigate the stability of ODE's, local and global equilibria and the sensitivity of the ODE solution. Furthermore, students will be introduced to standard curve fitting methods, including the least squares method, maximum likelihood and Monte-Carlo methods. Furthermore, students will get to know mathematical properties of the most widely used numerical integration methods for both ODE's and PDE's, such as Runge-Kutta and Finite Element methods. The basic principles of implicit methods, such as Newton's method, and methods to solve the linear systems resulting from the implementation of the finite element method, will also be discussed.
