(fulfills EEB Quantitative requirement) Models will be presented that are designed to answer questions drawn from a wide range of biological topic areas, including biodiversity conservation, fisheries management, epidemiology, molecular genetics, and electrophysiology. When discussing techniques for analyzing these models, we will cover: 1. Linear models with one state variable that are both deterministic and stochastic; 2. Linear, structured models that are both deterministic and stochastic; 3. Deterministic nonlinear models with one state variable in discrete and continuous time; 4. Deterministic nonlinear models with several state variables in continuous time as well as additional topics chosen based on class interest and time available. By the end of the course, if you engage fully with the taught material and opportunities for guided independent study and you participate in class activities, then you should: be able to review critically why and when you would want to use a model to answer a biological question in your own area of interest; develop ideas about how to build a model to answer this question; have experience with a range of techniques used to analyze the models you might build. In addition, the course contributes to the general learning outcomes for Biological Sciences. Cross-listed with MATH 405
