Overview
An accessible, integrated treatment of mathematical models in biology, the statistical techniques for fitting and testing them, and associated computer methods. Properties of models, and of methods of fitting and testing them, are demonstrated by computer simulation and illustrated by biological examples.Covers models for single populations & processes/biological comparisons & design issues/biological interactions/etc.

Booknews
A textbook that deals with deterministic and stochastic mathematical models, statistical methods for fitting and testing them, and computer programs for simulation and statistical analysis. Models are treated as experimental subjects upon which experiments can be performed, and their behavior studied and documented. There are many graphical illustrations, and most of the models are set in a biological context using examples involving real data, drawn from many biological fields. Annotation c.
