Course Coordinator: Dr Bill Broadhurst (rwb1002@cam.ac.uk)
Elementary Mathematics for Biologists is a first year course in the Natural Sciences Tripos, taught primarily by biologists who use basic mathematics in their research. Lecturers are drawn from the Departments of Biochemistry; Experimental Psychology; Physiology, Development and Neuroscience; Pharmacology and from the Computer Laboratory.
It is one of two courses in mathematics specially designed for first year biologists:
- Elementary Mathematics for Biologists is for students who have not done A level mathematics or its equivalent. It aims to provide students with a toolkit of basic mathematical techniques used in biology.
- Mathematical Biology is for students who have studied mathematics to A level or equivalent, introducing more advanced applications of mathematical, statistical and computing methods for biological problems.
