This note covers the following topics:
Ordinary differential equations (ODEs), and initial and boundary conditions,
Eigenvalue and eigenvector analysis, Analytical and numerical techniques for
solving ODE, Heat equation, Analytical solution to inhomogeneous PDEs using
Green's functions.
This note is an introduction to the engineering of synthetic
biological systems. Topics covered includes: components and control of
prokaryotic and eukaryotic behavior, DNA synthesis, standards, and abstraction
in biological engineering, issues of human practice, including biological
safety; security; ownership, sharing, and innovation; and ethics. Enrollment
preference is given to freshmen.
