    2018-Eduardo-Sontag-Lecture_Notes_on_Mathematical_Systems_Biology
    I am often asked if it is OK to use these notes in courses at other universities. The answer is “of course!” though I strongly suggest that a link to my website be provided, so that students can always access the current version.

    The water flowing from the first bottle feeds the second one located below it. The same concepts of mass and energy conservation now lead to a non-trivial differential equation for the lowest bottle dynamics.

    1-084-GoingViral-ModelingScenario
    Students employ randomization in order to create a simulation of the spread of a viral disease in a population (the classroom). Students then use qualitative analysis of the expected behavior of the virus to devise a logistic differential equation.

    The Lotka-Volterra model tells us that the prey and predator exhibit a shifted cyclic behavior over time. In this module, we look at modifying this prey-predator model to consider the case when there is cannibalism in the predator species.
