Abstract:
A short introduction to modern mathematical methods used in modelling dynamical phenomena of populations. The methods presented in this book can be applied in solving and understanding real-world issues such as epidemic control and immunology in medicine, pest control in agriculture, and protection of the environment. Dynamical Models in Mathematical Biology provides the reader with a full explanation of all the necessary mathematics as well as the intuitive meaning of these formulae. So, besides mathematicians interested in biomathematics this volume is also to be recommended to physicians, b.
