&lt;br /&gt;
==About the class==&lt;br /&gt;
This class is aimed to teach you to think physically about biological systems. Thinking physically means, in the context of this class, creating ''simple'' predictive mathematical models of biological processes that provide ''insight''. If you are still confused, we will talk a lot more during the lectures what it means to think physically. The class relies a lot on computer simulations as a tool to verify our understanding -- and you will learn Matlab during this class (no prior programming experience necessary). The main ideas that we will explore are the ideas of dynamics, randomness, control, inference, and information -- all applied to biology in two different ways: first, how we model and learn biology, and, second, how biological organisms model and learn the world around them. These ideas will be explored in a variety of biological systems, from viruses and bacteria, to neural systems, and to entire populations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Logistics==&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Physics 434, 2015: Syllabus|Syllabus]] -- we will deviate from it in the course of the class&lt;br /&gt;
*[[Installing Octave on your PC and Mac]].&lt;br /&gt;
*Weekly office hours: Monday, 2:00-3:30, subject to change&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Main Textbook''': P Nelson, [http://www.physics.upenn.edu/biophys/PMLS/index.html Physical Modeling of Living Systems], WH Freeman, Dec 2014.&lt;br /&gt;
:: See also [http://www.physics.upenn.edu/biophys/PMLS/Student/index.html student resources] for the book.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Lecture Notes and Detailed Schedule==&lt;br /&gt;
Detailed schedule and Lecture notes will be provided as needed (the latter only when we deviate substantially from the Nelson's textbook). This is the first time I am teaching largely based on Nelson's book, and so it is hard for me to gauge how quickly the class would proceed. Therefore, I am not providing a detailed schedule for the full semester, but will be updating it as the course progresses.&lt;br /&gt;
