This seminar series is a 1-credit class, open to graduate students in the BTP program. Other students will be allowed to join as space allows any given year. Students enrolled in the seminar series are expected to attend 16 total seminars, with reporting on those attended, to receive 1 credit. Seminars span several departments and are chosen each year by the BTP executive committee for their relevance to topics in biotechnology.

A series of invited lectures on a variety of research programs. Required course; may be taken Pass/Fail. Prerequisite: graduate standing.

Methods of linear analysis for typical chemical engineering systems. Review of linear algebra and eigen problems. Linear initial-value problems, phase-plane analysis of selected nonlinear systems and some restrictions, elementary numerical methods for initial value problems. Boundary-value problems and eigenfunction expansions for Sturm-Liouville systems, special functions and applications, elementary numerical methods for bound value pde's. Linear partial differential equations by separation of variables, transform methods and methods of characteristics, elementary numerical methods.
