This extensively revised second edition describes the essentials of creating and analyzing mathematical and computer simulation models. It offers a comprehensive understanding of the underlying principle, as well as details and equations applicable to a wide variety of biological systems and disciplines. The new edition extensively updates many of these topics, and is more rigorous and mathematical than the competitive titles, which are intended for a less sophisticated reader.
