REQUIRED TEXT

 Mathematical Models in Biology by Leah Edelstein-Keshet

This is a classic introductory text for students interested in biological applications of mathematics and modeling in biology. A favorite in the mathematical biology community, it shows how relatively simple mathematics can be applied to a variety of models to draw interesting conclusions.

This will be the main text for the course, and will be supplemented with additional materials posted or handed out.



 

 

 

 

OPTIONAL TEXT

 Used Math by Clifford Swartz

This is an excellent reference work for students in search of a quick explanation of the mathematics found in the first one to two years of the college science curriculum. If you feel that you are rusty in background mathematics of this course, this text is highly recomended.
