- Summary:
- Hoppensteadt taught the lecture course in computational biology and applied mathematics at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences in the fall of 2010. The notes partly build on Modeling and Simulation in Medicine and the Life Sciences (2002) that he wrote with C.S. Peskin, he says, but he introduces and uses slightly more advanced concepts in mathematics to study population phenomena with the goal of describing complicated aspects of a disease involving several species. Still he keeps mathematics to the essential advanced undergraduate level. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
