生物系统在分子，细胞，器官或生物体水平上具有许多相互作用的单元。这些复杂的系统可以通过数学模型的构建，分析和计算仿真来理解。这样的模型利用理论和观察来提供对复杂生物系统行为的新预测。定量生物学课程为学生提供重要的数学工具，以及将其应用于生命科学的必要科学知识。我们是少数几个提供定量生物学本科学位的大学之一。在我们的计划中，学生将获得数学，生物学和化学方面的丰富知识。这些学科在集成研讨会中统一起来，在该研讨会中，使用计算机模拟对复杂的生物系统进行建模和研究。该课程最终以基于项目的，研究密集型的顶峰课程为中心
Biological systems have many interacting units at the level of molecules, cells, organs and organisms. These complicated systems may be understood through the construction, analysis and computational simulation of mathematical models. Such models exploit both theory and observation to provide new predictions of the behavior of complex biological systems. The UD Quantitative Biology Program equips students with crucial mathematical tools along with the requisite scientific knowledge necessary to apply them in the life sciences. We are one of the few universities to offer an undergraduate degree in Quantitative Biology. In our program, students acquire a sound knowledge of mathematics, biology and chemistry. These disciplines are unified in integrative seminars where complex biological systems are modeled and studied using computer simulations. The curriculum culminates in a project based, research-intensive capstone course.
