Introduction to Computational Neuroscience   
Category: Academic Curricula>Mathematics>Computational Methods
Update Link / Bad Link
Description: This course focuses on mathematical concepts and techniques used in computational neuroscience. It is designed to provide students with necessary mathematical background for formulating, simulating, and analyzing models of individual neurons and neural networks. The course will serve as an introduction to the theory of nonlinear differential equations and applied dynamical systems in the context of neuronal modeling. The topics to be covered include a review of basic facts about the electrophysiology of neural cells, analysis of the conductance based models, neural excitability, bursting, models for synaptically coupled cells, and compartmental models, as well as a number of mathematical techniques such as phase plane analysis, fast-slow decomposition, and elements of the bifurcation theory. The students will learn basic models of excitable membranes such as Hodgkin-Huxley, Morris-Lecar, and FitzHugh-Nagumo models.

Optimization Models in Computational Biology   
Category: Academic Curricula>Physical Sciences>Biology
Update Link / Bad Link
Description: This course will introduce a series of optimization models that find applications to various problems in bioinformatics and computational biology. The basics of the following topics will be covered: dynamic programming; graph algorithms (paths and flows); clustering and trees; linear, non-linear, and integer programming (including convex polytopes); certain probabilistic models; and very limited algebraic statistics. The applications of these optimization models to bioinformatics and computational biology will be illustrated by studying problems such as sequence motif search, DNA sequence alignment (including parametric sequence alignment), recombinations and other related phylogenetic problems, protein sequencing, and protein structure prediction (including side-chain positioning, scoring functions for threading, molecular dynamics etc.).

Description: This class deals with ways to recognize and characterize major structures in the earth's crust and ways to gain insight into how these structures form. It also explores techniques for determining the sequence in which structures form. Geometric and timesequence information is integrated with fundamental material in mathematics and physics to introduce students to how the earth's crust can be viewed as a mechanical system. The class will focus on macroscopic structures but will also introduce students to some of the fascinating structures that form at the microscopic scale.
