ABSTRACT

The highlight of the second semester biocalculus course at Benedictine University is the Extended Course Project. We present projects featuring models involving impulsive differentiation equations that have been implemented in MATLAB. We discuss the basics of the biology and mathematics involved in analyzing the models and the MATLAB implementation.
