Abstract

The objetive of this project is to iniciate the candidate in a program of Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) in the field of Ordinary Differential Equations (we write IDE, for short), through the introduction of the candidate to the study of IDE's with pre-assigned impulse effects and through the analysis of problems of the Medical Sciences which are modelled by IDE's., in particular, problems in Pharmacokinetics.(AU)
