Biological Modeling

Abstract

What is the goal of the course? Just as universities have striven for centuries to teach us first how to become literate and later, numerate, this aim of this course is to teach you how to become “ecolate” or “system thinking”...how to develop the skill to state a dynamic problem, to deduce from this statement an interesting question, to answer that question skillfully, and finally to ask, “In what ways is this picture incomplete?”
