Differential Equations and Mathematical Biology

By Douglas Samuel Jones, Brian D. Sleeman, B.D. Sleeman

Book Overview

Ideal for courses on differential equations with applications to mathematical biology or as an introduction to mathematical biology, this bestselling text introduces the fundamental modeling and analytical techniques used to understand biological phenomena. It discusses the modeling of biological behavior, including biochemical reactions, nerve pulses, predator-prey models, and epidemics. This edition includes a section on spiral waves, developments in tumor biology, and additional examples and exercises. With downloadable MATLAB(R) files available online, it presents numerical solutions of differential equations and numerical bifurcation analysis.
