About this title

From the Back Cover

Drawing together mathematics, biology, statistics, philosophy, and the use of computers, this book offers mathematical methods for solving problems in biological and related sciences. Adopting an applications- oriented approach and emphasizing the need to understand the language of mathematicians, the book shows how to formulate mathematical models of dynamic processes; how to study their behavior analytically and numerically through the use of computers; and is illustrated with mathematical applications ranging from enzyme kinetics and fishery biology to physiological control and ecology. For practicing life scientists wishing to improve their grasp of applying mathematics.
