Requirements
To complete the course, the student is required to (all three requirements must be completed to pass the course):
a) Execute the project work (20% of the final grade)
b) Execute the weekly exercises (1 per exercises lesson, 40% of the final grade)
c) Do the final exam (40% of the final grade)
Completion parts must belong to the same implementation

Learning Outcomes
After completing the course, the student will be able to create mathematical models of cellular systems, both deterministic and stochastic, implement them, and solve them by analytical or numerical methods. Systems include simple processes, signal transduction, and gene expression. Moreover, the student will learn how to choose appropriately between deterministic and stochastic methods. After the course, the student will have the necessary skills in using the MATLAB environment in modeling of dynamical processes.

| This course presents methods and modeling strategies of biological systems, focusing on the modeling and simulation of chemical processes in cells using differential equations and numerical methods. After completing the course, the student will be able to create mathematical models of cellular systems, both deterministic and stochastic, implement them, and solve them by analytical or numerical methods. Systems include simple processes, signal transduction, and gene expression. Moreover, the student will learn how to choose appropriately between deterministic and stochastic methods. After the course, the student will have gained multiple skills in using the MATLAB environment in modeling of dynamical processes. |
