Modeling and Differential Equations in Biology / Edition 1

by T. A. Burton

Overview

This book describes how stability theory of differential equations is used in the modeling of microbial competition, predator-prey systems, humoral immune response, and dose and cell-cycle effects in radiotherapy, among other areas that involve population biology, and mathematical ecology.
