This text explores five areas of mathematical biology which are unified by their underlying mathematical structure: cell growth, enzymatic reactions, physiological tracers, biological fluid dynamics, and diffusion. Topics follow a course in elementary differential equations, although linear algebra and graph theory are also covered. Knowledge of elementary calculus is assumed. Rubinow is affiliated with the Graduate School of Medical Science at Cornell University. This is an unabridged republication of a book originally published by John Wiley & Sons, New York, 1975.
