Digital libraries could be considered an archetype of many modern systems such as e-commerce websites, music listening services, and even email clients.

Databases are used to store user interactions, and the whole system must be available continuously over the web. This course will focus on understanding and making improvements to the back end of such a system built in Java.

Fundamental principles of molecular biology and fluid dynamics as they relate to human physiology and disease, with a focus on the cardiovascular, lymphatic and pulmonary systems.
