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)
