商品描述

From controlling disease outbreaks to predicting heart attacks, dynamic models are increasingly crucial for understanding biological processes. Many universities are starting undergraduate programs in computational biology to introduce students to this rapidly growing field. In Dynamic Models in Biology, the first text on dynamic models specifically written for undergraduate students in the biological sciences, ecologist Stephen Ellner and mathematician John Guckenheimer teach students how to understand, build, and use dynamic models in biology.

Developed from a course taught by Ellner and Guckenheimer at Cornell University, the book is organized around biological applications, with mathematics and computing developed through case studies at the molecular, cellular, and population levels. The authors cover both simple analytic models--the sort usually found in mathematical biology texts--and the complex computational models now used by both biologists and mathematicians.

Linked to a Web site with computer-lab materials and exercises, Dynamic Models in Biology is a major new introduction to dynamic models for students in the biological sciences, mathematics, and engineering.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

從控制疾病爆發到預測心臟病發作,動態模型在理解生物過程中變得越來越重要。許多大學開始開設計算生物學的本科課程,以介紹學生這個快速發展的領域。在《生物動態模型》這本專門為生物科學本科生撰寫的第一本動態模型教材中,生態學家Stephen Ellner和數學家John Guckenheimer教導學生如何理解、建立和使用生物動態模型。

這本書是根據Ellner和Guckenheimer在康奈爾大學教授的課程開發而成,以生物學應用為基礎,通過分子、細胞和群體層面的案例研究來發展數學和計算。作者涵蓋了簡單的分析模型(通常在數學生物學教材中找到的類型)和現在生物學家和數學家都使用的複雜計算模型。

《生物動態模型》還附有一個包含電腦實驗室材料和練習的網站,是生物科學、數學和工程學專業學生的一個重要的新動態模型入門教材。
