An Introduction to Undergraduate Research in Computational and Mathematical Biology From Birdsongs to Viscosities

Speaking directly to the growing importance of research experience in undergraduate mathematics programs, this volume offers suggestions for undergraduate-appropriate research projects in mathematical and computational biology for students and their faculty mentors. The aim of each chapter is twofol...
