      The goalThe goal of the course is to acquaint the students with the principles of mathematical modelling, classification and categorisation of models, and their application in biomedical research, with an emphasis on cybernetic and information models that are the basis of the modern understanding of biological system organisation and functioning
      The outcomeAt the conclusion of the course, the students will have a basic knowledge of the fundamental principles of mathematical modelling in biomedical research and will be able to list and describe different types of biophysical models.
