Models in Biology and Epidemiology
FEKT-AMODAcad. year: 2010/2011
Biological system, classification and description of properties. A generalised approach to modelling of biological systems, analysis of models of biological systems (equilibrium states and their stability). Compartment models. Simulation of the behaviour of biological systems. Description of characteristic models of biological systems (models of the basic organism subsystems, models of biochemical processes, epidemiological models).
