Book DetailsLectures on Mathematics in the Life SciencesVolume: 18; 1986; 267 ppMSC: Primary 92
Distinguishing itself among other books on mathematics in plant biology, this book is unique in that it presents a broad overview of how plant biologists are currently utilizing mathematics in their research, and the only one to particularly emphasize plant ecology. Each article is unified by an attempt to tie models at one level of organization to an understanding at other levels. This approach strengthens the connections between theoretical development and observable biology, facilitating the testing of new predictions.
Intended for mathematicians, plant biologists and ecologists alike, this book requires only a basic knowledge of differential equations, linear algebra and mathematical modeling; a knowledge of plant biology is helpful. Readers will gain a perspective on what types of biological systems can benefit from mathematical treatment and an appreciation of the current important problems in plant biology.
