"The book is suitable both for use as a classroom textbook and for self-teaching. This third edition includes more problems and solutions as well as many worked examples. The chapters on calculus and linear algebra have been particularly expanded and the work has been amended throughout following suggestions from leading biomathematicians.
Practical applications include: electrocardiogram, biological rhythm, flow of blood in blood vessels, psychophysical scaling and various problems from genetics and systems analysis."
