Critics Review
ENDORSEMENTS
“Forger’s book is an excellent choice for students/researchers …”
–The Journal of Biological Rhythms
“This book is useful for students, teachers, and researchers. Teachers will find illustrative toy models to introduce theoretical concepts in mathematical biology. Researchers will find useful elements to better grasp the theory underlying published models as well as hints to build models on a rational basis.”
–The Quarterly Review of Biology
“Researchers will find this book to be a welcome reference - it contains a treasure trove of good advice and a broad overview of issues that one should consider in the mathematical study of biological oscillators.”
–Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics
“This text will be a valuable reference for researchers working in chronobiology. It would also be useful for undergraduates reading mathematical biology.”
–The Biologist
