Description
This textbook on mathematical biology is designed for students with no previous background in biology and very little background in mathematics. It teaches the two subjects as equal and inter-related subjects, and it uses the powerful Maple computer algebra system as a tool in solving the computational and graphing problems. The use of the Maple system allows a hands-on approach to computation, and this provides a source of information through the use of "what if" scenarios, allowing students to grasp important biological and mathematical concepts. For students who do not have access to a computer algebra system, each topic is complete without the use of either numerical or symbolic equations. Graphic visualizations are provided for all the mathematical results.
