315/365 Revison Week: Mathematical Biology
Image by stuartpilbrow
This module is all about interpreting biological situations and then making a mathematical model to try and solve the biological situation. I find this module quite interesting despite my hatred for differential equations, which is where most of the maths in this module comes from. I will give a few examples of what we model.
Energetics is a key part of what we do. This is modeling the way way energy is taken in and used. For example, a predator needs to catch other animals to intake energy, and so in order to survive, the energy it uses to catch prey must be less than the energy it gains from its kill. So given variables such as prey distribution, probablity of a catch once meeting the prey, energy lost/gained we can calculate the optimal number of times an animal needs to catch per day. Another example of this is a static sea creature such as shellfish. These animals feed but pumping water through a membrane, which catches small algae. This food then slides down the membrane and into the mouth which is located at the base. Pumping takes energy and so each pump needs to be economic in terms of energy it catches. Modelling the pressure difference either side of the membrane and how much food it is likly to intake the optimal rate of change of pressure (rate of pumping if you like) can be calculated.
There are many other examples of models in this module which I shant go over here, but if you're into biology then I can recommend looking into this further.
