This book provides a self-study program on how mathematics, computer
science and science can be usefully and seamlessly intertwined. Learning
to use ideas from mathematics and computation is essential for
understanding approaches to cognitive and biological science. As such
the book covers calculus on one variable and two variables and works
through a number of interesting first-order ODE models. It clearly uses
MatLab in computational exercises where the models cannot be solved by
hand, and also helps readers to understand that approximations cause
errors - a fact that must always be kept in mind.
