About This Book
A hands-on lab guide in the Python programming language that enables students in the life sciences to reason quantitatively about living systems across scales This lab guide accompanies the textbook Quantitative Biosciences, providing students with the skills they need to translate biological principles and mathematical concepts into computational models of living systems. This hands-on guide uses a case study approach organized around central questions in the life sciences, introducing landmark advances in the field while teaching studentsâwhether from the life sciences, physics, computational sciences, engineering, or mathematicsâhow to reason quantitatively in the face of uncertainty.
- Draws on real-world case studies in molecular and cellular biosciences, organismal behavior and physiology, and populations and ecological communities
- Encourages good coding practices, clear and understandable modeling, and accessible presentation of results
- Helps students to develop a diverse repertoire of simulation approaches, enabling them to model at the appropriate scale
- Builds practical expertise in a range of methods, including sampling from probability distributions, stochastic branching processes, continuous time modeling, Markov chains, bifurcation analysis, partial differential equations, and agent-based simulations
- Bridges the gap between the classroom and research discovery, helping students to think independently, troubleshoot and resolve problems, and embark on research of their own
- Stand-alone computational lab guides for Quantitative Biosciences also available in R and MATLAB
Frequently asked questions
How do I cancel my subscription?
Can/how do I download books?
At the moment all of our mobile-responsive ePub books are available to download via the app. Most of our PDFs are also available to download and we're working on making the final remaining ones downloadable now. Learn more here.
What is the difference between the pricing plans?
Both plans give you full access to the library and all of Perlegoâs features. The only differences are the price and subscription period: With the annual plan youâll save around 30% compared to 12 months on the monthly plan.
What is Perlego?
We are an online textbook subscription service, where you can get access to an entire online library for less than the price of a single book per month. With over 1 million books across 1000+ topics, weâve got you covered! Learn more here.
Do you support text-to-speech?
