This lecture introduces mathematical modeling in chemistry and biology, focusing on dynamical systems. Topics include modeling chemical reactions, reversible reactions, and enzymatic reactions like Michaelis-Menten kinetics. The lecture also covers population dynamics models, such as the Lotka-Volterra competition model. Equilibrium states, stability analysis, and phase portraits are discussed to understand the behavior of different systems with varying parameters.
