Description for Dynamic Models in Biology
Paperback. From controlling disease outbreaks to predicting heart attacks, dynamic models are crucial for understanding biological processes. This book teaches how to use dynamic models in biology. It is organized around biological applications, with mathematics and computing developed through case studies at the molecular, cellular, and population levels. Num Pages: 352 pages, 10 halftones. 90 line illus. 15 tables. BIC Classification: PBWH; PS; UGK. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 253 x 177 x 19. Weight in Grams: 736.
From controlling disease outbreaks to predicting heart attacks, dynamic models are increasingly crucial for understanding biological processes. Many universities are starting undergraduate programs in computational biology to introduce students to this rapidly growing field. In Dynamic Models in Biology, the first text on dynamic models specifically written for undergraduate students in the biological sciences, ecologist Stephen Ellner and mathematician John Guckenheimer teach students how to understand, build, and use dynamic models in biology. Developed from a course taught by Ellner and Guckenheimer at Cornell University, the book is organized around biological applications, with mathematics and computing developed through case studies ...

Reviews for Dynamic Models in Biology
"What is remarkable about Dynamic Models in Biology is that it truly speaks to students of biological sciences. It puts biology first, and then tries to explain how mathematical tools can explain biological phenomena. Nothing else I've seen does this anywhere near as well. The authors have combined their experience to produce and excellent textbook."
