商品描述
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.
Features- Minimal pre-requisites beyond a solid background in calculus, such as a calculus I course.
- Suitable for upper division mathematics and sciences students and graduate-level biology students.
- Provides sample MATLAB codes and instruction in Appendices along with datasets available on https: //bit.ly/3fcLF3D.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
《生物學中的數學建模：研究方法的途徑》是一本主要為高年級數學和科學本科生以及研究生生物學學生編寫的教科書。雖然應用重點集中在生態學上，但作者的專業知識和方法論可以應用於其他科學領域，包括社會科學和經濟學。本書的目標除了作為教學和學習數學生物學所需核心建模技能的有用輔助工具外，還希望鼓勵學生深入且清晰地思考數學在科學中的意義，並學習重要的研究方法。最重要的是，希望學生能體驗到進行研究的興奮感。
特色
- 除了扎實的微積分背景（例如微積分 I 課程）外，幾乎不需要其他先修知識。
- 適合高年級數學和科學學生以及研究生生物學學生。
- 提供範例 MATLAB 代碼和附錄中的指導，並附有可在 https://bit.ly/3fcLF3D 獲得的數據集。
作者簡介
Shandelle M. Henson is Professor of Mathematics and Professor of Ecology at Andrews University, Michigan, USA. She uses dynamical systems theory and bifurcation theory to study nonlinear population dynamics and the effects of climate change on marine organisms. Shandelle earned a Ph.D. in mathematics at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville and did several years of postdoctoral work at the University of Arizona. She serves as editor-in-chief of the journal Natural Resource Modeling and is a coauthor of the book Chaos in Ecology: Experimental Nonlinear Dynamics (Academic Press 2003) which documented chaotic dynamics in laboratory populations of insects.
James L. Hayward is Professor Emeritus of Biology at Andrews University, Michigan, USA. He earned a Ph.D. in zoology from Washington State University, and he has studied the behaviors and population dynamics of marine birds and mammals in the Pacific Northwest of North America since he began graduate studies in 1972. In addition, Jim has studied the behavior of marine iguanas and flightless cormorants on the remote and uninhabited island of Fernandina, the westernmost island in the Galapagos. He also is a recognized expert in the fossilization of eggshell in birds and dinosaurs.
Shandelle and Jim, a wife-husband research team, are widely published in both the technical and popular literature, and both have won awards for their teaching. They have applied mathematical methods to the behavioral dynamics of seabirds at Protection Island National Wildlife Refuge in the Strait of Juan de Fuca, Washington, USA since 2002. They reside in Niles, Michigan, USA and they have a daughter, son-in-law, and four grandsons. They enjoy hiking, geology, art, music, and literature.
作者簡介(中文翻譯)
Shandelle M. Henson 是美國密西根州安德魯斯大學的數學教授及生態學教授。她利用動態系統理論和分岔理論研究非線性族群動態及氣候變遷對海洋生物的影響。Shandelle 在田納西大學（University of Tennessee, Knoxville）獲得數學博士學位，並在亞利桑那大學（University of Arizona）進行了數年的博士後研究。她擔任期刊 Natural Resource Modeling 的主編，並共同撰寫了書籍 Chaos in Ecology: Experimental Nonlinear Dynamics（Academic Press 2003），該書記錄了實驗室昆蟲族群中的混沌動態。
James L. Hayward 是美國密西根州安德魯斯大學的生物學名譽教授。他在華盛頓州立大學獲得動物學博士學位，自1972年開始研究生涯以來，他一直研究北美太平洋西北地區海洋鳥類和哺乳動物的行為及族群動態。此外，Jim 也研究了位於加拉巴哥群島最西端的費爾南迪納島（Fernandina）上，海洋鬣蜥和不會飛的鸕鶿的行為。他也是鳥類和恐龍蛋殼化石化方面的公認專家。
Shandelle 和 Jim 這對夫妻研究團隊在技術和流行文獻中均有廣泛發表，並且都因其教學而獲得獎項。自2002年以來，他們在美國華盛頓州胡安德富卡海峽的保護島國家野生動物保護區（Protection Island National Wildlife Refuge）應用數學方法於海鳥的行為動態研究。他們居住在美國密西根州奈爾斯（Niles），並有一位女兒、女婿和四位孫子。他們喜歡健行、地質學、藝術、音樂和文學。
