Description
This text introduces a variety of mathematical models for biological systems, and presents the mathematical theory and techniques useful in analyzing those models. Material is organized according to the mathematical theory rather than the biological application. Undergraduate courses in calculus, linear algebra, and differential equations are assumed.
