This is the second edition of a textbook currently published for a course in mathematical modeling and
computer simulation for biologists at the advanced undergraduate and introductory graduate level.
The audience for this edition is similar to that of the previous one: advanced level courses in computational
biology, as well as researchers retooling themselves. This new edition includes a CD-ROM with real
examples of models as teaching tools.
Written for undergraduate and graduate students in the biological and environmental disciplines, cell biologists,
ecologists, physiologists, conservation biologists, biological engineers, environmental engineers
