An introduction to dynamical modeling techniques used in contemporary Systems Biology research. We take a case-based approach to teach contemporary mathematical modeling techniques. The course is appropriate for advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students. Lectures provide biological background and describe the development of both classical mathematical models and more recent representations of biological processes. The course will be useful for students who plan to use experimental techniques as their approach in the laboratory and employ computational modeling as a tool to draw deeper understanding of experiments. The course should also be valuable as an introductory overview for students planning to conduct original research in modeling biological systems. This course focuses on dynamical modeling techniques used in Systems Biology research. These techniques are based on biological mechanisms, and simulations with these models generate predictions that can subsequently be tested experimentally. These testable predictions frequently provide novel insight into biological processes. The approaches taught here can be grouped into the following categories: 1) ordinary differential equation-based models, 2) partial differential equation-based models, and 3) stochastic models.

The assignments seemed very tough. Other than that this course was very knowledgeable.

This is a amazing course. I've learned a lot and all the knowledge will be usable to me in my work.
AW
A+. Great course, easy to follow, and amazing instructor. Thank you Eric!
ED
New to systems biology and I am really impressed with the clear explanations. Currently, on week 4 but aiming to finish to the end. Thanks to the dude who made it! :) #lifesaver

Interesting subject, I liked the practical approach. The tests are not easy but I liked the homework style approach. It forces you to understand the subject better than the regular quizzes.
SW
The first week on MATLAB was a great refresher since I hadn't used MATLAB in a few years
CM
This is a very useful and well dessigned general course.
SB
Very good course. The first 5 weeks are incredible, the last couple weeks are decidedly of a lower quality with no assignments to accompany the material.
KH
Probably the best course in this overall very nice specialization
BT
Very informative course with good exercises. Would recommend having PDE example code, as well.

The course was very helpful for my current academic needs. Information provided was clearly explained and covered the broad range of topics sufficient to understand methods employed in modern papers. Suggest this course to anyone who's starting modelling in biology or other related disciplines.
This is a amazing course. I've learned a lot and all the knowledge will be usable to me in my work.
Amazing and clearly explained course that helped me understand all the ODE, PDE, and finally also a little bit of stochatic methods. If you are looking for a computational biology course, you should not miss this one. Thank you!

Eric Sobie va muy rápido, el cambio entre diapositivas no tiene una pausa y continua de corrido, es por ello que en algunas ocasiones repetía o erraba la idea que continuaba. Personalmente, tuve que pausar muchas veces los videos para deternerme a analizar lo que Eric decía.En cuanto al contenido del curso, me pareció fantástico, topando hitos históricos de modelos matemáticos en Sistemas Biológicos y manipulando el código en MATLAB por nuestra propia cuenta.
Lots of good parts to the course. Found the ODE examples very useful. Feel like it tailed off at the end in terms of detail and utility. Also, it seemed less adapted to the format than other courses such as Machine Learning by Andrew Ng and Computational Neuroscience by Rajesh Rao.
Eric and team are doing a wonderful job with this course. The content of the course are very straight forward and comprehensive. It covers every subject from basic biological aspect before going to the mathematical details. It is easy to follow even for someone who has little experience in programming language. Thank you so much for this !
everything explained in very easy to understand way. the assignments were designed quite well- not only to test the knowledge acquired but the assignment results were designed in such a way that they will be useful in modeling.

Great introduction about Dynamic system models for biology! And kudos for using Matlab and Simbiology!
Easy to follow up and clear lectures to understand dynamical modeling methods
A+. Great course, easy to follow, and amazing instructor. Thank you Eric!
Probably the best course in this overall very nice specialization
very clear explanation of ordinary differential equations
This is a very useful and well dessigned general course.
This is a great course.
Very clear and well constructed.
Great introduction to dynamical systems modeling
Fantastic course, best in the specialization
Great course. Well taught and very useful.
