| Samenvatting: | This textbook illustrates mathematical techniques used in many areas in the
biological sciences. The last several years have witnessed a revolution in the
connections between mathematics and biology. This interest in quantitative
methods in biology has spawned a large number of outstanding textbooks in
mathematical biology. (Many of these are included in the Reference Notes section
at the end of each chapter.) This book differs from most others in that it
covers both deterministic and probabilistic models. The first chapter is a long
introduction and review of ideas about biological modeling, calculus, differential
equations, dimensionless variables, and descriptive statistics. In the next
three chapters we examine standard discrete and continuous models using difference
and differential equations, and matrix algebra (there is a long appendix
in Chapter 3 on matrices). The final three chapters cover probability, statistics,
and stochastic processes, including bootstrap methods and stochastic differential
equations. |
