An Invitation To Biomathematics

Essential for all biology and biomathematics courses, this textbook provides students with a fresh perspective of quantitative techniques in biology in a field where virtually any advance in the life sciences requires a sophisticated mathematical approach. An Invitation to Biomathematics, expertly written by a team of experienced educators, offers students a solid understanding of solving biological problems with mathematical applications.

This text succeeds in enabling students to truly experience advancements made in biology through mathematical models by containing computer-based hands-on laboratory projects with emphasis on model development, model validation, and model refinement. The supplementary work, Laboratory Manual of Biomathematics is available separately ISBN 0123740223, or as a set ISBN: 0123740290) Review: I was impressed with the excellent job done by the authors...particularly, how the biology is explained first and then the math necessary to solve the problem is developed.- --Phil Ryan, Truman State University I would strongly recommend publication.

This book will show young biologists how their existing mathematical skills can be put to powerful use in modern biology. --Martin Steward, University of Manchester
