Description
Essential for all biology and biomathematics courses, this textbook provides students with a fresh perspective of quantitative techniques
in biology in a field where virtually any advance in the life sciences requires a sophisticated mathematical approach.
An Invitation
to Biomathematics, expertly written by a team of experienced educators, offers students a solid understanding of solving biological
problems with mathematical applications. This text succeeds in enabling students to truly experience advancements made in biology through
mathematical models by containing computer-based hands-on laboratory projects with emphasis on model development, model validation, and
model refinement.
The supplementary work,
Laboratory Manual of Biomathematics is available separately ISBN 0123740223,
or as a set ISBN: 0123740290)
Audience:
This textbook is intended for use within courses in mathematical biology, as well as in general mathematics and biology courses that cover
the application of math and statistics to biological problems. The reader is not expected to have any extensive background in either
math or biology.
