• Please respond to these questions on separate sheets of paper:
  
  
  1. The aim of this course is to bring together students from a wide range of backgrounds. At one extreme, an excellent experimental neurobiologist may have relatively little experience in the quantitative analysis of data or in the study of simple models. At the other extreme, an excellent mathematician may know very few of the basic facts about neurons. Please explain where you fit in this broad range of prospective students and what you hope to gain from the course. (Be succinct; half-page maximum.)
  2. We do not expect you to be a master of all the relevant disciplines. On the other hand, you will get more out of the course if you have made an effort to broaden your scientific background. Please explain what steps you have taken in this direction. (Again, be succinct; half-page maximum.)
  3. Describe your level of experience with MATLAB programming. (Half-page maximum.)
