Course Rationale

To explore a new area of expertise that emerged from a fertile field- the combination of biology, chemistry and information sciences. It also exposes the reader to the fascinating structure of biological data and explains how to treat related combinatorial and statistical problems. This describes the mathematical structure of biological data, especially from sequences and chromosomes. This course will give a prologue to field DNA sequencing and searching algorithms along with different computational chemistry methods (e.g.: molecular mechanics, quantum mechanics, etc.
