Simple test to self-assess your readiness for the course
Thank you for enrolling in the course on “Introduction
to Dynamical Models in Biology”. This course has the following pre-requisites: The
student must have studied Mathematics at 10+2 level. Have studied
graduate-level Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. Knowledge of Computer
Programming will be helpful but not a necessity.
For mathematics, you need to have a working
knowledge of basics of algebra, and
calculus of 10+2 level. That is good enough to understand
the topics that we will discuss in this
course. You may look into any 10+2 level mathematics book to refresh your
knowledge.
Also, you should have a broader understanding of biological processes, like
DNA-replication, transcription, translation, enzyme activity, and cell signaling. You may consult any biochemistry book
like “Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry” to refresh your knowledge on this topics. Note that you do NOT
need to know detail molecular mechanisms of these processes to understand this
course, but you should know the concepts.
We have created a short test (Assignment 0) of
10 questions to test your preparedness for the course. You should get at least 6
out of 10 in this test. Take your time to take this test to self-assess your readiness for the course. If
required, refresh your knowledge on the topics mentioned above.
This test will remain open until the start of the course. Your score in
this test/assignment would NOT be
counted towards the final score.
