Full-time form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
To successfully learn the discipline "Mathematical foundations of population genetics" the student should satisfy the following requirements.
They know fundamental bases of mathematical methods of construction, verification, analysis of qualitative characteristics of deterministic and stochastic mathematical models; classical methods of mathematical analysis, probability theory, random processes.
They can conduct research on the qualitative characteristics of the constructed mathematical models; apply classical methods for the study of applied problems in deterministic and stochastic models.
They should be able to apply classical methods of mathematical analysis and probability theory; search and analyze information in open sources.
Course content
The purpose of the discipline is to get acquainted with the main applications of probabilistic ideas in systems studied in genetics, as well as to master the technical apparatus inherent in this field of knowledge. "Mathematical foundations of population genetics" is the basis for studying the discipline "Environmental and economic processes and their modeling".
