Reviews
"“The choice of material is interesting and refreshing, and finds concrete applications for mathematical topics that might not be standard fare in the physics or chemistry curricula. The applications of the Poincaré-Bendixson theorem to locating limit cycles are a remarkable highlight.”—Chay Paterson, zbMATH Open ""This is a wonderful book, wise and witty. It would have taught me most of the math I needed for my career in research – if I did all the problems.""—Stephen Stearns, author of The Evolution of Life Histories and Evolutionary Medicine “This enlightening book covers not only the essential parts of calculus and dynamical system, but also how one can apply these tools in biological sciences. In addition, the last chapter of this book is a concise introduction to probability theory. Michael Frame motivates students with very well-selected examples.”—Hongyu He, Professor of Mathematics, Louisiana State University “This work is an important step toward a new curriculum model for the nascent field of mathematical biology: different content and authentic applications, geared toward a truly interdisciplinary audience.”—Rebecca Gasper, Assistant Professor of Mathematics, Creighton University"
