Dynamical Systems for Biological Modeling (eBook, ePUB)

An Introduction

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book prepares both biology and mathematics students with the understanding and techniques necessary to undertake basic modeling of biological systems. Its approach emphasizes qualitative ideas rather than explicit computations and does not overwhelm students with precise technical details. The book discusses a variety of biological modeling topics, including population biology, epidemiology, immunology, intraspecies competition, harvesting, predator-prey systems, structured populations, and more. The authors also include many examples of problems with solutions and some exercises which follow the examples quite closely.
