Which courses (at an undergrad level or master's level) in mathematics or statistics should be taken by a student aiming for a PhD in mathematical biology?

The basics I imagine are calculus courses, linear algebra and probability.

But then I would guess that other important courses would be ODE, PDE, Complex analysis(?), Fourier analysis(?) and Markov chains(?). I am unsure about the ones with (?).

    I think a student should consult with math and/or biology faculty at his/her university. If they don't know, they probably know someone who does.2012-02-22

    @Desmond Your question is probably appropriate for the nearly-in-beta-SE http://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/64216/mathematics-learning-studying-and-education. Check out the proposal and commit to it if you're interested. Then we can get it off the ground and get the site in beta!2014-03-03

    @GerryMyerson, based on time stamps (here and on the user's profile), it looks like the OP set up an account, posted a question, then never returned to check for answers.2018-11-29
