Each chapter begins with a question from modern biology, followed by the description of certain mathematical methods and theory appropriate in the search of answers. Every topic provides a fast-track pathway through the problem by presenting the biological foundation, covering the relevant mathematical theory, and highlighting connections between them. Many of the projects and exercises embedded in each chapter utilize specialized software, providing students with much-needed familiarity and experience with computing applications, critical components of the "modern biology" skill set. This book is appropriate for mathematics courses such as finite mathematics, discrete structures, linear algebra, abstract/modern algebra, graph theory, probability, bioinformatics, statistics, biostatistics, and modeling, as well as for biology courses such as genetics, cell and molecular biology, biochemistry, ecology, and evolution.  aIncludes index.0 aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (ScienceDirect, viewed May 20, 2015).  aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 0aBiologyxMathematical models. 0aBiomathematics. 7aBiologyxMathematical models.2fast0(OCoLC)fst00832431 7aBiomathematics.2fast0(OCoLC)fst00832555 4aElectronic books.1 aRobeva, Raina S.,eeditor.08iPrint version:z9780128012130w(OCoLC)919695989403ScienceDirectuhttp://www.sciencedirect.com/science/book/9780128012130
