This textbook provides an introduction to the field of mathematical biology through
the integration of classical applications in ecology with more recent applications
to epidemiology, particularly in the context of spread of infectious diseases. It
integrates modeling, mathematics, and applications in a semi-rigorous way, stating
theoretical results and giving references but not necessarily giving detailed proofs,
providing a solid introduction to the field to undergraduates (junior and senior level),
graduate students in applied mathematics, ecology, epidemiology or evolutionary biology,
sustainability scientists, and to researchers who must routinely read the practical
and theoretical results that come from modeling in ecology and epidemiology. This
new edition has been updated throughout. In particular the chapters on epidemiology
have been updated and extended considerably, and there is a new chapter on spatially
structured populations that incorporates dispersal. The number of problems has been
increased and the number of projects has more than doubled, in particular those stressing
connections to data. In addition some examples, exercises, and projects include use
of Maple and Matlab. Review of first edition: "A strength of the book is the large
number of biologically-motivated problem sets. These and the references to the original
biological papers would be valuable resources for an instructor." (UK Nonlinear News,
2001)
