This textbook introduces differential equations, biological applications, and simulations and emphasizes molecular events (biochemistry and enzyme kinetics), excitable systems (neural signals), and small protein and genetic circuits.

Focuses on the fundamental ideas of continuum mechanics by analysing models of fluid flow and solid deformation and examining problems in elasticity, water waves, and extremum principles. It provides an overview of the subject, with an emphasis on clarity, explanation, and motivation.

This textbook adopts a general approach to model analysis and applies it several times to problems of gradually increasing biological and mathematical complexity. For this text little mathematical background is required - only some exposure to elementary calculus.
