Minor in Biomathematics
The minor in biomathematics is designed to provide students with a broad introduction to the applications of mathematics in modern biology. Combining a background in biology with a background in mathematics, students completing a minor in biomathematics will be well prepared to understand and contribute to current research questions in the field, ranging from molecular to population studies, using both continuous and discrete modeling approaches.
