EVSC 3060
Biomechanics of Organisms
Course Description
Prerequisites
MATH 1190 or MATH 1210 or MATH 1310 or APMA 1090
Disciplines
Living Systems, Chemical, Mathematical, and Physical Universe
This course explores interactions between biology and the fluid within which terrestrial organisms (air) and aquatic organisms (water) function. Topics covered include locomotion, heat exchange, diffusion and mass exchange, bio-acoustics, and bio-optics in the two different fluids, as well as living at the interface between air and water. Prerequisite: MATH 1190 or MATH 1210 or MATH 1310 or APMA 1090.
