Professors S. Glaser & M. Ortiz

In this learning community Introduction to Modern Concepts of Biology (BIO 33; Lecture 13P, 17097; Lab 13PL, 17111) is linked to an Integrative Seminar (BIO 5050; 1P, 20321) and will introduce you to the structure of the cell, genetics and inheritance, ecology, and how organ systems contribute to the functioning of the human body. The Integrative Seminar will complement the introduction to these topics in biology by helping you learn mathematical applications related to these biological concepts. These applications include the collection of data and measurements using the metric system, the graphing of data, the calculation of rate and probabilities, the prediction of tides, and understanding food nutrition information.
