Designed to explore the applications of mathematical techniques and methods related to biology, this text explores five areas: cell growth, enzymatic reactions, physiological tracers, biological fluid dynamics and diffusion. Topics essentially follow a course in elementary differential equations — some linear algebra and graph theory; requires only a knowledge of elementary calculus. Unabridged republication of the edition published by John Wiley & Sons, New York, 1975.
An Introduction to Mathematical Taxonomy by G. Dunn, B. S. Everitt For students of mathematical biology, an introduction to taxonomic characters, measurement of similarity, analysis of principal components, multidimensional scaling, cluster analysis, identification and assignment techniques, and the construction of evolutionary trees.
Introduction to Biostatistics: Second Edition by Robert R. Sokal, F. James Rohlf Suitable for undergraduates with a minimal background in mathematics, this introduction ranges from descriptive statistics to fundamental distributions and the testing of hypotheses. Includes numerous worked-out problems and examples. 1987 edition.
