Mathematics of Neuroscience (2008)

Neurons can be described using nonlinear dynamical techniques. A compilation of my homework reports and final report for a class I took at Drexel (Math 723) with Dr. Medvedev can be found here. A number of MATLAB, C++, and Maple programs for dynamical computations are included.

A shorter report on a particular model of ECIIsc can be found here.

The Pfaffian and the Wedge Product (Feb, 2007)

Via proofs from Thomas Muir and S. Parameswaran, we remind the reader of the relationship between the Pfaffian and Determinant for for a zero-axis skew symmetric matrix. This is done in the context of a wedge product example and can be found here.
