Modeling Biological Systems: Principles and Applications (Equations and Their Applications; 32)

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.
