This course introduces basic concepts of calculus as introduction to the mathematics in order to solve problems by specific techniques. This course also covers topics such as: relation and function, limits and continuity, differentiation, integration and the applications of differentiation and integration and techniques of integration.
Molecular nutrition is an interesting aspect of nutritional science. This course can help students understand how nutrients interact with the genome, to alter gene expression, which in turn can affect normal growth, health and causing diseases. In this introductory course, students will start by reviewing the core concepts in molecular biology, the process of gene expression, discerning essential research tools used to investigate molecular aspects of nutrition, studying how the genome influences the response to nutrients and discussing various examples of how nutrients regulate gene expression. In each topic of discussion, emphasis will be given to the latest scientific research findings.
