Modeling The Dynamics Of Life. Calculus And Probability For Life Scientists - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

Designed to help students understand the role mathematics plays in the life sciences, this text provides a thorough grounding in mathematics, the language, and the "technology of thought" with which these developments are created and controlled. The book follows three themes throughout: growth, diffusion, and selection. Each theme is studied in turn with the three kinds of models that structure the course: discrete-time dynamical systems, differential equations, and stochastic processes. Techniques and insights build on each other throughout the book. Along the way, students learn and apply the standard material of a calculus course (differentiation, integration, and their applications).
