A newly developed course introduces students to the analytical and numerical techniques that will be utilized in subsequent bioengineering courses to analyze the behavior of complex systems. The illustrative case studies in the form of course modules employed in this course have as a focus various issues related to questions of social justice and include wealth distribution, developing a social justice index, exploring the costs of health care in the United States and examining poverty trends in the United States and around the world.
