Mathematical Concepts and Methods in Modern Biology: Using Modern Discrete Models, Second Edition offers an updated, quantitative framework essential for analyzing, predicting, and modulating the behavior of complex biological systems. This book, structured around project-based learning and problem-solving principles, integrates crucial mathematical concepts, methods, and tools contextualized by vital questions raised in modern biology. Topics covered include neuronal networks, plant population growth, metabolic pathways, and phylogenetic tree reconstruction. New mathematical modeling tools featured include Boolean and ordinary differential equations, projection matrices, agent-based modeling, and several algebraic approaches.

Updated software manuals and codes are provided, making this a valuable resource for health professionals, scientists, researchers, and students in related fields.
