About this book
Reviews
“This is a course book on several topics from mathematical biology. … The book provides a short introduction to ordinary differential equations, partial differential equations, bifurcation theory and numerical methods for dynamical systems. … The book is a valuable support for teaching mathematical modeling in life sciences to students with basic knowledge of ordinary differential equations and partial differential equations.” (Maria Vittoria Barbarossa, Acta Scientiarum Mathematicarum, Vol. 81 (3-4), 2015)
“Each section begins with a biological background and ends by a numerical implement of an according mathematical model. The student can freely use these tools for simulations. With this book, the student also will learn the basics of mathematical modeling with Matlab. The book can be used either for a semester course or as a basis for a one-year course.” (Fatima T. Adylova, zbMATH, Vol. 1302, 2015)Authors and Affiliations
