From predator-prey populations in an ecosystem, to hormone regulation within the body, the natural world abounds in dynamical systems that affect us profoundly. Complex feedback relations and counter-intuitive responses are common in nature; this book develops the quantitative skills needed to explore these interactions..Differential equations are the natural mathematical tool for quantifying change, and are the driving force throughout this book. The use of Euler’s method makes nonlinear examples tractable and accessible to a broad spectrum of early-stage undergraduates, thus providing a practical alternative to the procedural approach of a traditional Calculus curriculum. Tools are developed within numerous, relevant examples, with an emphasis on the construction, evaluation, and interpretation of mathematical models throughout. Encountering these concepts in context, students learn not only quantitative techniques, but how to bridge between biological and mathematical ways of thinking...Examples range broadly, exploring the dynamics o | 出版日期 | Textbook 2017 | 关键词 | Calculus for life sciences; Differential equations for biology; Mathematical modeling for biology; Appl | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-59731-7 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-319-86689-5 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-59731-7 | copyright | Springer International Publishing AG 2017 |
