Penicillin and You
Why you should take your medicine exactly like the doctor said
This project is an investigation into the pharmacokinetics of penicillin, ie, how penicillin moves through the body. There are three main parts to this project: the application (what the problem is), the algorithm (how we model the problem), and the architecture (how we use the model).
Application
What is the problem?
Algorithm
How do we model it?
Architecture
How do we run the model?
