Preface
It is common in physics and chemistry that the mathematical tools of the discipline are taught by practicing physicists and chemists rather than by mathematicians. Why, then, are biologists not teaching the mathematical tools needed and used by biologists? The interaction between mathematics and biologists is very much like the relationship between a sheep dog and a sheep: although it is uncomfortable at the beginning, in the end both parties benefit. We believe that by linking mathematics to science through comparisons between p
