Summary

• Using STELLA and MADONNA software, Modeling Dynamic Biological Systems applies methods of computer modeling to real-world phenomena in a wide range of topics from laboratory biology and ecology. The book includes sections on physical and biochemical processes, genetics, single- and multiple-population dynamics, and catastrophe and self-organization. STELLA and MADONNA run-time software as well as computer files of sample models accompany the book on a CD-ROM.
• STELLA software is compatible with both Macintosh - and Windows-based computers.
