• The Algorithmic Beauty of Plants. By P. Prusinkiewicz, A. Lindemayer. Springer, Berlin, 1990. ISBN 0-387-94676-4. The beauty of plants has attracted the attention of mathematicians for centuries. Conspicuos geometric features such as the bilateral symmetry of leaves, the rotational symmetry of flowers, and the helical arrangements of scales in pine cones have been studied most extensively. This book is the first comprehensive volume on the computer simulation of plant development.
• Fractals Everywhere. Second edition. By Michael F. Barnsley. Academic Press, New York, 1993. ISBN 0-12-079061-0. Fractal geometry will make you see everything differently. There is danger in reading this book. You risk the loss of your childhood vision of clouds, forests, galaxies, leaves, feathers, rocks, mountains, torrents of water, carpets, bricks, ans much else besides. Never again will your interpretation of these things be quite the same.
• Mathematical Physiology. By J. Keener, J.Sneyd. Springer, New York, 1999. ISBN 0-387-98381-3. This book provides an overview of the work which lies at the border of mathematics and physiology. It describes the ways in which mathematical theory may be used to give insights into physiological questions and how physiological questions can in turn give leads to new mathematical problems. The book is divided into two parts, the first dealing with the fundamental principles of cell physiology, and the second with the physiology of systems.
• Mathematical Concepts in Clinical Science. By Steven Tiger, Julienne Kirk and Robert Solomon. ISBN: 0-13-011549-5, Publisher: Prentice Hall, Copyright: 2000, Format: Paper; 302 pp., Published: 12/28/1999. Especially created for students with a limited background in mathematics, this comprehensive text introduces basic mathematical concepts applicable to all entry-level clinical science curricula—medicine, physician assistant, nursing, pharmacy, and physiology, in an accessible style. The author does not merely present facts, but teaches the student step by step. Emphasis throughout is on understanding concepts, not memorizing numbers and formulas.
• When Topology Meets Chemistry, An Introduction to Molecular and Topological Chirality. By Erica Flapan. Cambridge Univ. Press and the Mathematical Association of America, 2000. ISBN 0-521-66482-9. This topology text describes knot theory, 3-dimensional manifolds, and the topology of embedded graphs while explaining their role in understanding molecular structures. No specific mathematical or chemical prerequisites are required.

• Matrix Population Models: Construction, Analysis, and Interpretation. By Hal Caswell Second edition, September 2000.
  

  Matrix Population Models, Second Edition, is a comprehensive treatment of matrix population models and their applications in ecology and demography. It begins with simple cases, presented in detail so that beginning students can learn how to use these powerful models. It goes on to cover advanced topics in stochastic and nonlinear models. Analytical methods and theoretical issues are illustrated with empirical examples throughout. The decade since the publication of the First Edition of this book has seen enormous progress in the theory and application of matrix population models. The new edition includes greatly expanded treatment of stochastic and density-dependent models, sensitivity analysis, and statistical inference, and new chapters on parameter estimation, structured population models, demographic stochasticity, and applications of matrix models in conservation biology. Matrix Population Models, Second Edition, is an indispensable reference for graduate students and researchers in ecology, population biology, conservation biology, and human demography. Caswell teaches biology at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Portland, OR
