| Aim: To gain basic knowledge of models for applied problems in biology and chemistry. To learn the three stages (i) mathematical formulation of a model from verbal description of known experimental relations, (ii) mathematical analysis of a model, and (iii) interpretation of the mathematical analysis in the context of the experimentell knowledge. |
