Abstract
Modeling Nature and the Nature of Modeling is a sophomore level course that covers aspects of linear algebra, differential equations, difference equations, and stochastic processes that are relevant to biology majors. The course emphasizes active learning, in-class computer experiments, and integrates data into modeling. While the course is mathematically rigorous, it emphasizes experimental exploration of concepts before their rigorous treatment.
