Since I was in grade school I have been fascinated by the power of mathematical models in solving problems in physics, biology and real life. This book offers a fascinating collection of applications of mathematics in biology, all of which show how relatively simple mathematics can be applied to a variety of models to draw interesting conclusions. Generations of students and researchers have read it since its first publication, and I hope future readers will find it as interesting and useful as I did.
