2003/04 BioMath PFUGs
A PFUG is a small group devoted to the study a single topic where students
learn to conduct research in a mathematical science.
The Foundations Course is met to provide a grounding in the relavant science
and mathematics. In addition, students will develop expertise in the
following indespensible areas:
Bibliographic databases, (MathSciNet, MEDLINE, Web of Knowledge)
Scientific databases, (NetLib, BRENDA)
Speaking & Writing, (Cain project)
html, (Owlnet)
LaTeX (MikTeX) and
Matlab (Mathworks)
