Mathematical Models for Society and Biology
Autor Edward Beltramien Limba Engleză Hardback – 6 aug 2013
Mathematical Models for Society and Biology, 2e, draws on current issues to engagingly relate how to use mathematics to gain insight into problems in biology and contemporary society. For this new edition, author Edward Beltrami uses mathematical models that are simple, transparent, and verifiable. Also new to this edition is an introduction to mathematical notions that every quantitative scientist in the biological and social sciences should know. Additionally, each chapter now includes a detailed discussion on how to formulate a reasonable model to gain insight into the specific question that has been introduced.
- Offers 40% more content – 5 new chapters in addition to revisions to existing chapters
- Accessible for quick self study as well as a resource for courses in molecular biology, biochemistry, embryology and cell biology, medicine, ecology and evolution, bio-mathematics, and applied math in general
- Features expanded appendices with an extensive list of references, solutions to selected exercises in the book, and further discussion of various mathematical methods introduced in the book

Recenzii
"…this is a very good introduction to mathematical modeling, one of the best that I have seen…he presents his book as a reference or a tool for self-study by mathematically prepared undergraduates who wish to see interesting and unusual applications in the biological and social sciences…This is a delightful book. By design it is not a textbook, but it would be a wonderful accompaniment to any course in modeling." --MMA.org, February 17, 2014
