PRIMUS:  Biology Applications in the Mathematics Curriculum

Here are the five assignments that I have used in undergraduate linear algebra:

1.  Leslie matrices:  Interpreting the model, converting between the graph and the projection matrix, and predicting future populations

2.  Block matrix manipulations

3.  Eigenvalues of Leslie matrix

4.  Eigenvalues of block matrices

5.  Geographically subdivided populations:  An application of block matrices
