Welcome to the fascinating intersection of mathematics, biology, and ecology!
This book is intended primarily as a resource for teachers planning to teach their first introductory course on modeling in mathematical biology and/or ecology. This being said, it can also be used by students preparing to embark on an independent studies project in one of these fields; or, by researchers unfamiliar with the methods or software introduced who are seeking an accessible and quick introduction to one of the methods and/or software presented here; or, by curious biologists, ecologists, or mathematicians who may be unfamiliar with "the other side;" or, maybe, by the perpetual learner who is intrigued by the dynamics of living ecosystems. For each of the above, this book is designed to be an accessible introduction to the captivating landscape of biomathematics.
The approach used in this book takes advantage of technology in leading readers on a journey that bridges seemingly distinct fields through introductions to three methods and software platforms: Compartmental models with Berkeley Madonna; agent-based models with NetLogo; and cluster analysis through selforganizing maps using an R Shiny app.
This is not intended to be a textbook (though it may be used as one), nor is it a purely mathematics book or one purely about deeper aspects of biology or ecology. It focuses on three selected ways in which the intersection of mathematics and biology (and mathematics and ecology) can be explored with the help of software. Moreover, the manner in which the content is presented makes it possible to use this book to help prepare for an introductory course at a wide range of levels, depending on the discipline within which the course is taught and the mathematical prerequisites for the course.
There are four chapters, the first of which presents the reader with a bit of background information followed by suggestions on how to get the most out of this book. The three core chapters introduce the three previously mentioned methods and software in a manner envisioned to be accessible to most.

About the Author
Olcay Akman is a professor of mathematics at Illinois State University, Normal, IL. He is an editor of two research journals and the director of the Center for Collaborative Studies in Mathematical Biology (CCSMB) and the Intercollegiate Biomathematics Alliance (IBA). The main part of his research centers in the area of evolutionary computing and computing-intensive modeling in mathematical biology. His editorial work includes Editor-in-Chief and Associate Editor for journals in the area of mathematical biology. He is also the main organizer of the International Symposium on Biomathematics and Ecology Education and Research (BEER) and routinely co-organizes Special Sessions for AMS and MAA. Olcay has published extensively in a wide range of fields, including mathematical biology.
Christopher Hay-Jahans is a professor of mathematics at University of Alaska Southeast, Juneau, AK. He enjoys teaching any undergraduate mathematics or statistics course. His continued areas of interest include applications of differential equations to geophysical fluid dynamics, other areas within the natural sciences, and applications of linear statistical models. More recently, through the IBA, BEER Symposiums, and activities at summer Cross-institutional Undergraduate Research Experience (CURE) workshops sponsored by the IBA, he has developed an interest in mathematical biology and ecology. Chris has published two books on R and, with Olcay Akman, has co-mentored three CURE-related projects that resulted in the publication of articles in the journal SPORA.

Store description
Seit über 30 Jahren handeln wir mit Büchern. Begonnen hat alles als kleiner Fachbuchhandel in Berlin. Heute sind wir spezialisiert auf den An- und Verkauf gebrauchter Bücher. Noch immer liegt unser Fokus dabei auf den Kategorien: Fachbuch und englischsprachige Literatur. Hinzu kommen Bücher aus allen anderen Genres, wie Belletristik, Biografien oder Kinderbücher. Unser oberstes Ziel ist dabei die Weiterverwendung von Dingen und die Schonung von Ressourcen. Neben dem Ankauf von privaten Büchern oder Haushaltsauflösungen kaufen wir bundesweit komplette Bibliotheken und Buchbestände von Institutionen auf, um diese nachhaltig ein weiteres Mal auf den Markt zu bringen. Parallel dazu bietet Buchpark die Möglichkeit, große Mengen einzulagern. Ganze Bibliotheken und umfangreiche Buchbestände werden von uns professionell auf Qualitätsmerkmale hin untersucht und sorgfältig für den Onlinehandel aufbereitet. Wir schenken Büchern ein zweites Leben.…

Right of withdrawal for consumers
(A consumer is any natural person who enters into a legal transaction for purposes that are predominantly neither commercial nor self-employed).
Right of withdrawal
If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.
Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Buchpark, Trebbin, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
