Description for Modeling Dynamic Biological Systems (Modeling Dynamic Systems)
Hardcover. This volume teaches computer modeling of biological systems using models created by STELLA software, including cell development, the beating heart and the spread of epidemics. It includes easy-to-use software modules that require no prior experience to use. Series: Modeling Dynamic Systems. Num Pages: 434 pages, 18 black & white illustrations, 280 colour illustrations, 5 colour tables, biography. BIC Classification: KCP; PDE; PSAF; PSB; UY. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 244 x 164 x 22. Weight in Grams: 766.
Many biologists and ecologists have developed models that find widespread use in theoretical investigations and in applications to organism behavior, disease control, population and metapopulation theory, ecosystem dynamics, and environmental management. This book captures and extends the process of model development by concentrating on the dynamic aspects of these processes and by providing the tools such that virtually anyone with basic knowledge in the Life Sciences can develop meaningful dynamic models. Examples of the systems modeled in the book range from models of cell development, the beating heart, the growth and spread of insects, spatial competition and extinction, to the ... Read more

Reviews for Modeling Dynamic Biological Systems (Modeling Dynamic Systems)
“I found this book to be a delightful introduction to symbolic programming using STELLA. … I would recommend this text to a reader interested in model development using symbolic programming tasks.” (Megan Sawyer, MAA Reviews, October, 2015)
