It is the personality of the teacher which is the text that the pupils read; the text that they never forget.

In the past, I have alternated my graduate teaching between these two courses:

AMS 216 Stochastic Differential Equations

AMS 215 Stochastic Modeling in Biology

but in 2007-08, in Spring term I will teach: AMS 214 Introduction to Dynamical Systems. More to come on that!

Math 11A Calculus

This course has its own web page. Go there now.

Quantitative Methods: The Reality

But to paraphrase Mr Truman, if you can't stand algebra, keep out of evolutionary biology.
John Maynard Smith. 1998. Evolutionary Genetics. 2nd edition. Oxford University Press

Most of the major advances in evolutionary biology over the last few decades have come from quantitative statements, many of which involve only elementary algebra or the most basic theorems of calculus...The rewards of mathematical theory can be enormous, particularly when what looks like mind-boggling complexity collapses into a relatively simple formulation.
