More DescriptionDifferential Equations and Mathematical Biology is a detailed treatment of both ordinary and partial differential equations, techniques for their solution, and their use in a variety of biological applications. The presentation includes the fundamental techniques of nonlinear differential equations, bifurcation theory, and the impact of chaos on discrete time biological modeling. It covers numerical techniques and addresses a range of applications, including heart physiology, nerve pulse transmission, chemical reactions, tumor growth, and epidemics. This is the ideal vehicle for introducing the challenges of biology to mathematicians and likewise delivering key mathematical tools to biologists.
