Aim
The
        problem will introduce the mathematical aspects of optimal
        control theory and apply it to biological models. These models
        are 
      
1.
        mold and fungicide
        2. bacteria
        3. cancer
        4. the epidemic model and
        5. HIV treatment. 
      
A
        basic knowledge of differentation and integral calculs is
        needed. Techniques on differential equations and computing
        programming are introduced, e.g., MATLAB is used.
