โฆ Synopsis
This textbook provides a general overview of realistic mathematical models in life sciences, considering both deterministic and stochastic models and covering dynamical systems, game theory, stochastic processes, and statistical methods. Each mathematical model is explained and illustrated individually with an appropriate biological example.;General introduction -- Continuous-time dynamical systems -- Discrete-time dynamical systems -- Game theory and evolution -- Markov chains and diffusions -- Random arborescent models -- Statistics.
