Beskrivning
Designed around the principles of project-based learning and problem-solving, the book considers biological topics such as neuronal networks, plant population growth, metabolic pathways, and phylogenetic tree reconstruction. The mathematical modeling tools brought to bear on these topics include Boolean and ordinary differential equations, projection matrices, agent-based modeling and several algebraic approaches. Heavy computation in some of the examples is eased by the use of freely available open-source software.
- Features self-contained chapters with real biological research examples using freely available computational tools
- Spans several mathematical techniques at basic to advanced levels
- Offers broad perspective on the uses of algebraic geometry/polynomial algebra in molecular systems biology

"Contributors in biology, in mathematics, and in bioinformatics introduce undergraduate students and their instructors to more applications of discrete mathematics to biology than can be found in standard textbooks. The goal is not to be comprehensive, but to open the door to more advanced and specialized resources." --Reference and Research Book News, August 2013
