Review of "Mathematical Models In Biology" 6th Edition, by Leah Eldestein-Keshet

This book by Leah Edelstein-Keshet, "Mathematical Models in Biology," is a discovery that delighted me at once. It is simple to read and well organized, with basics of mathematics given in chapters separated from applications and examples. At first glance it might be taken more as a book for researchers already involved in the fields of biology, biophysics, and physical medicine rather than a text book for graduate students. To be sure, many of the biologists who are slowly discovering that mathematics is essential to understand modern biology and medicine, will find this book to be a guided tour to many of the mathematical fields connected to the life sciences. However, also students in the mathematical and physical sciences will find in this book a detailed guide to the field of mathematical modeling biological processes.
