The very BEST book on the subject A Customer There are lots of books about mathematical modeling, and many of them cover biological systems. But no book I've ever seen even comes close to the quality of this beautiful work by Edelstein-Keshet. So what is it that makes this book so special? First of all, the book is both accessible and self-contained. Just start at the beginning, and you're guaranteed to learn A LOT of math. Second, the style of writing and the way in which the author presents the material is utterly beautiful. It is impossible NOT to understand, but the material is not at all 'chewed out' for the reader. Third of all, the book really encou. "days ago it came exactly as the seller described awesome thank" according to Amazon Customer. Brought it a few days ago it came exactly as the seller describedawesome thank you. "math models in biology" according to V. Davide. This is a nice introductory book on math biology models. It is easy to understand and a necessary reading for those who want to approach more difficult books such as Mathematical Physiology. The exercises presented are useful for active learning of this topic.Be aware: this book requires prior knowledge of calculus (differential equations, partial derivatives, Taylor series expansion).

Mathematical Models in Biology is an introductory book for readers interested in biological applications of mathematics and modeling in biology. Although great advances have taken place in many of the topics covered, the simple lessons contained in Mathematical Models in Biology are still important and informative. Shortly after the first publication of Mathematical Models in Biology, the genomics revolution turned Mathematical Biology into a prominent area of interdisciplinary research. Connections are made between diverse biological examples linked by common mathematical themes, exploring a variety of discrete and continuous ordinary and partial differential equation models. In this new millennium, biologists have discovered that mathematics is not only useful, but indispensable! As a result, there has been much resurgent interest in, and a huge expansion of, the fields collectively called mathematical biology. This book serves as a basic introduction to concepts in deterministic biological modeling.
