Electrical Engineering and Computer Science 498 - Practical Programming for Biostatistics/Bioinformatics

Instructor: Morgan

MF 4:30-6

EECS498 - An introductory programming course teaching object-oriented design and development specifically for graduate students interested in computational biology, bioinformatics, statistical genetics, and biostatistics.  The course will be taught in C++ and will cover the language from the basics through highly object-oriented topics such as inheritance and polymorphism as time permits.  The 498 course number provides graduate credit for students in the fields described above, and, while the course will be mostly generic in nature, students will have the opportunity to gear a final project toward their specific research areas.  Students will also have input into which topics are most useful to them for a more in-depth lecture on those topics.  The course is project-oriented, requiring completion of 4 to 6 programming projects,  For more information, contact Andrew Morgan at morgana@eecs.umich.edu.
