Each of the sub-topics below will be applied to examples in the following list:

  1. Systems biosciences (biochemical, molecular, cellular, tissue-level, organismal physiology, neuroscience, medicine, populations)

  2. Cognitive psychological sciences

  3. Computer (software) engineering

  4. Computational Neuroscience

  5. Economic sciences

  6. All other physical engineering sciences.

There will be an emphasis on mathematical fluency/literacy; that is, a full comprehension to solve problems, and mathematical languages in the form of equations, numerical & symbolic formulations, and other graphical & diagrammatic representations.

Sub-topics

  • Induction

  • Trigonometry

  • Geometry

  • Cartesian maths

  • Functional mapping

  • Sequences & limits, series

  • Multivariate analytics

  • Complex numbers

  • Vectors, scalars, and matrices

  • Infinitesimal calculus

  • Differentiation, fist-order, higher-order, partial

  • Integration

  • Exponentials and logarithms

  • Transformations

  • Linear algebra

  • Non-linearity

  • Discrete mathematics

  • Group & set theory

  • Probability and statistics

  • Dynamics

  • Modelling

  • Theoretical & abstract mathematics

  • Graph theory

  • Fluid dynamics

  • Topology

  • Logic

  • Computation

  • Innovation in maths

A lot of scientists understand the language of mathematics and physics; and they understand the main concepts and structures studied within biology. But when we look at the underlying processes which support biophysical systems, we realise there is a lot more complexity than we had originally thought. Simple ideas, simple processes, laws, and simple building blocks, can give rise to ever-increasing combinatorial complexity. 'Complexity & Systems Science' is a rather new field of study, which is taking interdisciplinary science to its next level, and is really the only way to truly understand how things work, at every level of analysis.
