As a gentle intoduction to mathematics for the numerically phobic biology
undergraduate, Richard Burton’s Biology by Numbers could hardly be bettered.
Well-chosen examples take the agony out of algorithms and the confusion out of
calculus. Published by Cambridge University Press, £13.95/$19.95,
ISBN 0521576989.
