Differential Equations Models in Biology, Epidemiology and Ecology Proceedings of a Conference held in Claremont California, January 13–16, 1990

The past forty years have been the stage for the maturation of mathematical biolo~ as a scientific field. The foundations laid by the pioneers of the field during the first half of this century have been combined with advances in ap­ plied mathematics and the computational sciences to create a vibra...
