This e-book provides readers a short introductory MATLAB course oriented towards various collaborative areas of biotechnology and bioscience. The text concentrates on MATLAB fundamentals and gives examples of its application to various problems in computational biology, molecular biology, biokinetics, biomedicine, bioinformatics, and biotechnology. MATLAB is presented with examples and applications to various school-level and advanced life science / bioengineering problems - from growing populations of microorganisms and population dynamics, reaction kinetics and reagent concentrations, predator-prey models, to data fitting and time series analysis.
The book is divided into 7 chapters containing material
carefully selected and tailored to teaching several groups of
biotechnology students. The topics are presented in a manner that allows
readers to proceed sequentially on the strength of the preceding
material. Primary MATLAB® for Life Sciences: A Guide for Beginners
is essentially a concise and comprehensive text that provides an easy
grasp and to-the-point access to the MATLAB tool to the community of
life sciences and bio-engineering undergraduates and specialists.
