An introduction to the mathematics of biology with computer algebra models Edward K. Yeargers, Ronald W. Shonkwiler, James V. Herod.

"A very well balanced combination of biology and mathematics. Mathematics students have an opportunity to learn enough biology to make good models, and biology students will see it as an opportunity to understand the dynamics of a biological system. It can serve as the source of many good models with possible applications in different areas of biological research."   —Gen. Physiol. Biophysics "The title is a good description of this introductory textbook, which integrates quite nicely biology and mathematics... Each chapter ends with questions for discussion and references pointing to further reading... Intended for biology students with one year of calculus who want an introduction to mathematical modeling and for mathematics students with little knowledge of biology who want to become familiar with biological applications. The book succeeds at both intents. It is an excellent appetizer."   —Zentralblatt MATH
