Description
Mathematical modeling is increasingly becoming a standard technique in physiology and cell biology. In this class, we will cover some classical models in physiology and cell biology. Half of the course will be devoted to electrophysiology (Hodgkin-Huxley model, action potential propagation and related topics), which has arguably been the most successful area of application of mathematical techniques to biology. We will then consider models of molecular motors and muscle mechanics, of pattern formation and cell polarization.
