Mathematical Tools for Theoretical Neuro
Math Tools for Theoretica
An introduction to mathematical concepts used in theoretical neuroscience aimed to give a minimal requisite background for NBHV G4360, Introduction to Theoretical Neuroscience. The target audience is students with minimal mathematical background who are interested in rapidly acquiring the vocabulary and basic mathematical skills for studying theoretical neuroscience, or who wish to gain a deeper exposure to mathematical concepts than offered by NBHV G4360. Topics include single- and multivariable calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, dynamical systems, and probability. Examples and applications are drawn primarily from theoretical and computational neuroscience.

Management and Leadership Skills for Sci
This course will form part of the continuing series on the development of professional skills. It is aimed at introducing the class to leadership and management skills that are as much a part of professional growth and success as technical ability. The primary focus will be on learning to recognize common lab situations that can quickly become problematic if not skillfully handled, and knowing the self-management and interpersonal skills that need to be developed in order to navigate such situations. In addition to this primary focus, there will be discussions on how these skills are transferable to many different types of work and life (the skills are applicable not just in academia).
