1 Why This Class? James K. Peterson Department of Biological Sciences and Department of Mathematical Sciences Clemson University August 22, 2013
2 Outline 1 Our Point of View Mathematics, Science and Computer Science Needed The Implementation 2 A Typical Syllabus
3 Abstract This lecture introduces the Calculus For Biologists course we are offering at Clemson University as MTHSC 111. The notes for this course have evolved from handwritten lectures to a printed book in its third revision with a fourth revision being released the summer of The text notes are printed using print on demand technologies and are available at This course was designed, implemented and added to the curriculum as the new mathematics course MTHSC 111 and replaced the previous requirement of second semester engineering calculus. It has been taught to about 700 students since 2006.
4 Rethinking The Presentation of Calculus We have developed this course to be an integration of biology, mathematics and computational tools for placement within a typical existing department of biological sciences. We have a traditional college entity at Clemson University having the following structure 80% or more tenured faculty having little interest in the use of the triad of mathematics, computation and science in their own course development and teaching. Incoming majors having uneven training in mathematics and computer science and they may even be biased against mathematics and computer science as part of the discipline of biology. Prior to this course, we have an existing mathematics requirement of two semesters of engineering based calculus but the material was not combined with interesting biology and so many students did not like it for that reason.
5 Our Basic Plan Here is the basic plan: We are replacing the first semester calculus course with a new starting calculus for biologists course in Fall It is an experiment that should work out fine and it currently has about 60 students in two sections., here MTHSC 106. We have eplaced the existing Second Semester Calculus Course which is called Math-Two-Engineering (here MTHSC 108) with the course you are taking which is specifically designed for Biology majors called Math-Two-Biology here MTHS 111 Add model based points of view to the first year fundamental biology sequence Biology-One and Biology-Two, here BIOL 110 and 111.
6 Our Point of View Rethinking The Presentation of Calculus Two We have the following point of view: Mathematics is subordinate to the biology: the course builds mathematical knowledge needed to study interesting nonlinear biological models.
7 Our Point of View Rethinking The Presentation of Calculus Two We have the following point of view: Mathematics is subordinate to the biology: the course builds mathematical knowledge needed to study interesting nonlinear biological models. More interesting biology requires more difficult mathematics and concomitant intellectual resources.
8 Our Point of View Rethinking The Presentation of Calculus Two We have the following point of view: Mathematics is subordinate to the biology: the course builds mathematical knowledge needed to study interesting nonlinear biological models. More interesting biology requires more difficult mathematics and concomitant intellectual resources. It is better to choose a few nonlinear models and discuss them very carefully; e.g., logistics, Predator - Prey and disease models.
9 Our Point of View Rethinking The Presentation of Calculus Continued Since graphical interfaces lose value with more variables, we explore how to obtain insight from a six variable linear Cancer model.
10 Our Point of View Rethinking The Presentation of Calculus Continued Since graphical interfaces lose value with more variables, we explore how to obtain insight from a six variable linear Cancer model. We always stress how we must abstract out of biological complexity the variables necessary to build models and how we can be wrong.

We always stress how we must abstract out of biological complexity the variables necessary to build models and how we can be wrong. We always stress that the BMC triad is a very useful paradigm for developing insight in science.

31 The Implementation How Do We Do The Implementation? We interweave the calculus, differential equations, MatLab and numerical methods, linear algebra and modeling material carefully. Mathematics is introduced as needed for the modeling. The first part of the course must introduce specific mathematical material and they are not quite ready for models. So they find this more challenging.

34 The Implementation How Do We Do The Implementation? The freshman and sophomore students need to learn how to study. Daily homework with lots of algebra and manipulation is used. Doing 1 or 2 problems encourages mimicry, while doing 5 6 of each type builds mastery.

Doing 1 or 2 problems encourages mimicry, while doing 5 6 of each type builds mastery. We discuss the proper way to do homework: following notes for the first 2 problems is fine, but they need to close their books and notes and see if they can do the problem without looking at their notes.

42 The Implementation More Calculus for Biologists Design Philosophy Our design philosophy is as follows: All parts of the course must be integrated, so we don t want to do mathematics, science or computer approaches for their own intrinsic value.
43 The Implementation More Calculus for Biologists Design Philosophy Our design philosophy is as follows: All parts of the course must be integrated, so we don t want to do mathematics, science or computer approaches for their own intrinsic value. Models are carefully chosen to illustrate the basic idea that we know far too much detail about virtually any biologically based system we can think of. We must always remember that throwing away information allows for the possibility of mistakes. This is a hard lesson to learn, but important.

Models are carefully chosen to illustrate the basic idea that we know far too much detail about virtually any biologically based system we can think of. We must always remember that throwing away information allows for the possibility of mistakes. This is a hard lesson to learn, but important. Models from population biology, genetics, cognitive dysfunction, regulatory gene circuits and many others are good examples to work with. All require massive amounts of abstraction and data pruning to get anywhere, but the illumination payoffs are potentially quite large.
