This pioneering book was one of the first to describe the use of advanced mathematical methods in the life sciences. Used widely in one-semester courses, it assumes only elementary calculus and proceeds rapidly, but in a complete and self-contained way, through techniques essential to medicine and biology. Some techniques are unique to this volume and others emphasize the chemical and physical principles underlying biological processes. Less emphasis is given to formal solutions than to methods designed to develop physical intuition and to numerical solutions.
