General data

Course ID: 1000-1L12BTG
Erasmus code / ISCED: 11.943 The subject classification code consists of three to five digits, where the first three represent the classification of the discipline according to the Discipline code list applicable to the Socrates/Erasmus program, the fourth (usually 0) - possible further specification of discipline information, the fifth - the degree of subject determined based on the year of study for which the subject is intended. / (0619) Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), not elsewhere classified The ISCED (International Standard Classification of Education) code has been designed by UNESCO.
Course title: Biomathematics and game theory

ECTS credit allocation (and other scores): 2.00 Basic information on ECTS credits allocation principles:
  • the annual hourly workload of the student’s work required to achieve the expected learning outcomes for a given stage is 1500-1800h, corresponding to 60 ECTS;
  • the student’s weekly hourly workload is 45 h;
  • 1 ECTS point corresponds to 25-30 hours of student work needed to achieve the assumed learning outcomes;
  • weekly student workload necessary to achieve the assumed learning outcomes allows to obtain 1.5 ECTS;
  • work required to pass the course, which has been assigned 3 ECTS, constitutes 10% of the semester student load.

Short description:

Mathematical modelling of various pehnomena originating from biology or social sciences.

Full description:

Mathematical models of interacting populations and models of

individuals interacting within one single population will be proposed

and discussed. In particular, the equilibrium states of such

populations, their stability and local dynamics of the populations

around the equilibria will be studied. We focus on models of various

biological and social phenomena, including processes of tumor growth,

reactions of immunological systems, social dilemmas and their

solutions. As mathematical tools, the differential and difference

equations as well as the strategic and coalitional games will be

applied, however we do not exclude other approach to mathematical

modelling. After a series of introductory lectures the participants

will be asked to choose one of the proposed topics. The work on the

chosen topic will be individual or in two--person groups.
