Course material (in an initial phase of construction)
- a method document
that summerizes the basic material on methodology, mathematics
and computer science as a reference. The editorial board is
responsible for writing the document, and incorporating remarks
from users that they judge to be improvements. This document,
therefore, continuously changes, and, hopefully,
improves. Students as well as lecturers can suggest improvements
or extensions for this document. The names and addresses of
contributers are listed, but their contribution is not
specified.
- a data-base with examples and
exercises. Each example poses a biological problem, translates it
into a mathematical one, solves the mathematical problem,
translates it back to biological conclusions. Each exercise has a
motivation, question(s), hints for solution, and the answer. Like
examples, exercizes also have key words of the method
document, of the biological subject, and a qualifier for the
level of difficulty of the exercise or example. The name of the
author remains associated with the example. See instructions for authors.
- a set of codes that can be used for illustration in an example,
or in solving a computational problem in an exercise. The code is
written in a freely downloadable computer language or package,
such as Octave under
Emacs, Maxima. DEBtool can be used for e.g. advanced parameter
estimation problems. Download compressed code
files; decompress with
gzip -dc code.tar.gz | tar xf
-
- a set of PowerPoint presentations on basic issues in theoretical biology.
- in the future we plan to include quizzes or other forms of
self-tests.
