Mathematical Biology

In the thirteen years since the ?rst edition of this book appeared the growth of mathematical biology and the diversity of applications has been astonishing. Its establishment as a distinct discipline is no longer in question. One pragmatic indication is the increasing number of advertised positions in academia, medicine and industry around the world; another is the burgeoning membership of societies. People working in the ?eld now number in the thousands. Mathematical modelling is being applied in every major discipline in the biomedical sciences. A very different application, and surprisingly successful, is in psychology such as modelling various human interactions, escalation to date rape and predicting divorce.
