This book provides a short introduction to modern mathematical methods in modeling dynamical phenomena and treats the broad topics of population dynamics, epidemiology, evolution, immunology, morphogenesis, and pattern formation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePrimarily employing differential equations, the author presents accessible descriptions of difficult mathematical models. Recent mathematical results are included, but the author's presentation gives intuitive meaning to all the main formulae. Besides mathematicians who want to get acquainted with this relatively new field of applications, this book is useful for physicians, biologists, agricultural engineers, and environmentalists.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eKey Topics Include:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChaotic dynamics of populations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe spread of sexually transmitted diseases\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProblems of the origin of life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModels of immunology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormation of animal hide patterns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe intuitive meaning of mathematical formulae explained with many figures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApplying new mathematical results in modeling biological phenomena\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eMiklos Farkas is a professor at Budapest University of Technology where he has researched and instructed mathematics for over thirty years.
