Differential and Difference Equations in Mathematical Biology introduces graduate and senior undergraduate students to differential and difference equations as tools for modeling biological phenomena.
The book presents fundamental theory as well as recent research developments concerning the local and global analysis of continuous and discrete dynamical systems in mathematical biology. In addition to serving as a teaching text, the book is also valuable to researchers as both a reference and an introduction to the subject.
