NEUR189A PO - Mathematical Methods and Models in Neuroscience

When Offered: Each fall.
Instructor(s): Staff
Credit: 1

In this course, students will be introduced to mathematical and computational methods in contemporary neuroscience, ranging from the study of ion channels and single neurons to networks, systems and behavior. Mathematical concepts are introduced alongside the neurobiology they apply to, emphasizing the close connection between experiment and theory. Students will learn relevant topics from discrete math, calculus, linear algebra, and differential equations as models for neurobiological systems and for data analysis. In the laboratory sections, students will learn how to program in Python to gain hands-on experience in modeling, analysis, and visualization of lecture concepts.
