An Invitation to Mathematical Biology
The textbook is designed to provide a "non-intimidating" entry to the field of mathematical biology. It is also useful for those wishing to teach an introductory course. Although there are many good mathematical biology texts available, most books are too advanced mathematically for most biology majors. Unlike undergraduate math majors, most biology major students possess a limited math background. Given that computational biology is a rapidly expanding field, more students should be encouraged to familiarize themselves with this powerful approach to understand complex biological phenomena. Ultimately, our goal with this undergraduate textbook is to provide an introduction to the interdisciplinary field of mathematical biology in a way that does not overly terrify an undergraduate biology major, thereby fostering a greater appreciation for the role of mathematics in biology

Autor/in
Schulte, Paul J; Costa, David G
David G Costa is a mathematician interested in Partial Differential Equations (PDEs), Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) and the Calculus of Variations. In particular, he is interested in the use of so-called variational and topological techniques to study qualitatively and visualization of phenomena in PDEs and ODEs. Such phenomena are present in various areas of sciences, including physics, biology, and chemistry, among others. He teaches a variety of courses at the undergraduate level (including Calculus, Linear Algebra, ODEs, PDEs, and Introductory Real Analysis), and graduate level (including PDEs, and Real Analysis), as well as a course in Biomathematics jointly offered by the Department of Mathematical Sciences and School of Life Sciences.Paul J Schulte is a plant physiologist interested in biophysical approaches to studying internal processes in plants. These commonly involve applications of mathematical approaches asrealized through computational solutions. Plants are dependent on water for survival and their ability to acquire water from the soil and transport it throughout the plant is determined in part by the hydraulic properties of the plant's tissues. Most of his work considers transport processes such as water flow in the xylem tissues or sugar flow in the phloem tissues. He teaches a variety of courses such as Plant Physiology, Plant Anatomy, Introduction to Biological Modeling, and Biomathematics jointly offered in the School of Life Sciences and Department of Mathematical Sciences.
