BIOL5312 - Programming in the Biological Sciences for Graduate Students

BIOL 5312 Programming in the Biological Sciences for Graduate Students (3 semester credit hours) This course is an introduction to programming practices using C++ designed specifically for graduate students in the biological sciences with no prior programming experience. Special emphasis will be put in particular features of C++ like object oriented programming, data structures as well as applications to process, model, and analyze biological data. One goal of this course is to provide a strong background on programming skills on a basic level while leaving more advanced techniques of software development and algorithms for other advanced courses. Students work on programming assignments as well in a research project that can be addressed with the tools taught in this class. (3-0) S
