Mathematical Modeling in Biology: A Research Methods Approach is a
textbook written primarily for advanced mathematics and science
undergraduate students and graduate-level biology students. Although the
applications center on ecology, the expertise of the authors, the
methodology can be imported to any other science, including social
science and economics. The aim of the book, beyond being a useful aid to
teaching and learning the core modeling skills needed for mathematical
biology, is to encourage students to think deeply and clearly about the
meaning of mathematics in science and to learn significant research
methods. Most importantly, it is hoped that students will experience
some of the excitement of doing research.
