Dynamic Models in Biology
Some teaching materials to accompany the textbook Dynamic Models in Biology (Princeton University Press, 2006) by SPE and John Guckenheimer. For the computer lab script files, and other supplementary materials, please go to the book's web pageThe first two files below are a complete set of figures and selected tables with captions, however the figures are the originals prepared by the authors; some of these were redrawn by the publisher for use in the book. The third file is a zip archive of all the individual figure files (including several versions of some figures). We are making these available for classroom use with the permission of the publisher, but PUP holds the copyright (except for the ones that we grabbed straight out of journals) and you will need PUP's permission for any other uses of the figures.
