Mathematical Methods in Biology

Utilizes MATLAB to illustrate many of the algorithms, although it does not rely on any single computer algebra package.  An instructor can easily redirect this material to another computer algebra system, such as R, Mathematica, or Maple.

Successfully classroom-tested for four-plus years to divers groups of students majoring in mathematics and/or biology

Features a large number of exercises and problems at the end of each section that vary in difficulty from routine to more intermediate problems that build technique.  Selected solutions are included at the back of the book.

Uniquely covers both deterministic methods and stochastic methods so instructors are provided with many choices for different courses at varied levels

Provides careful introductions to more advances topics, which prepares readers to address quantitative issues found later in the book
