Mathematical Biology has grown at an astonishing rate and has established itself as a distinct discipline. Mathematical modeling is now being applied in every major discipline in the biological sciences. Though the field has become increasingly large and specialized, this book remains important as a text that introduces some of the exciting problems which arise in the biological sciences and gives some indication of the wide spectrum of questions that modeling can address. Includes a comprehensive chapter on the building of mathematical models from basic principles Provides a clear overview of the recent literature and basic dynamical models Presents detailed examples and simulations illustrating each new concept Provides an in-depth discussion of control mechanisms New procedures introduced for the analysis of mathematical models INDICE: Basic Models.- Chemostat Versus the Lake.- Instability Tendencies.- Self-Regulation.- Wall Growth.- Zones of No Activiation.- Influence of the Control Mechanisms.- Parameter Estimation Using Dynamic Optimization.
