Description for Mathematical Biology
Paperback. This text presents mathematical biology as a field with a unity of its own, rather than only the intrusion of one science into another. The book focuses on problems of contemporary interest, such as cancer, genetics, and the rapidly growing field of genomics. Series: Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics. Num Pages: 551 pages, 35 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: PBT; PBW; PDE; PSA; UB. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 235 x 155 x 29. Weight in Grams: 860.
Biology is a source of fascination for most scientists, whether their training is in the life sciences or not. In particular, there is a special satisfaction in discovering an understanding of biology in the context of another science like mathematics. For- nately there are plenty of interesting problems (and fun) in biology, and virtually all scienti?c disciplines have become the richer for it. For example, two major journals, MathematicalBiosciences andJournalofMathematicalBiology, have tripled in size since their inceptions 20-25 years ago. More recently, the advent of genomics has spawned whole new ?elds of study in thebiosciences,?eldssuchasproteomics,comparativegenomics,genomicmedicine, pharmacogenomics, and structural genomics among ...

Reviews for Mathematical Biology
From the reviews of the second edition: “This is a well conceived introduction into some of the most important fields of biomathematics. It aims mainly at undergraduates in mathematics but will be suitable for students who have passed a one-year course of calculus and some linear algebra. … Each chapter starts with a biological motivation and an introduction of ...
