| Abstract
|
:
|
"From predator-prey populations in an ecosystem, to hormone regulation within the body, the natural world abounds in dynamical systems that affect us profoundly. This book develops the mathematical tools essential for students in the life sciences to describe these interacting systems and to understand and predict their behavior. Complex feedback relations and counter-intuitive responses are common in dynamical systems in nature ; this book develops the quantitative skills needed to explore these interactions...In all cases, the focus is clear: how does the math help us understand the science?" -- Back cover.
