Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

This textbook introduces senior undergraduates and graduate students to the art and craft of creating and analyzing computer simulation models of biological systems. The field of biological modeling is huge, and the book is appropriately selective, nevertheless discusses a wide range of examples. The book assumes a minimum of mathematical sophistication on the part of the readers, and mathematical manipulations will not overwhelm them. The book assumes only some knowledge of single-variable linear regression and some basic calculus.

Críticas

Throughout the book, the author aims to teach the concepts of mathematical modelling by example, allowing a full understanding of how and why mathematics is so important in biology. This is a superb introduction and complements the more technical literature... - The Biologist;
Covers a broad area with wit and enthusiasm, tempered with an appropriate degree of caution...a valuable introduction...a balanced selection of references makes this a handy source text for those seeking to learn more. - Journal of Animal Ecology;
The book will be useful for those readers who want to get a survey of the use of various types of models in biology. - Eur. Jnl. of Entomology, 1997;
This is an excellent book for the student who wants a mathematical model but does not know how to construct one - Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology.
