This volume is dedicated to the memory of Professor Stavros Busenberg of Harvey Mudd College, who contributed so greatly to this field during 25 years prior to his untimely death. It contains about 60 invited papers by leading researchers in the areas of dynamical systems, mathematical studies in ecology, epidemics, and physiology, and industrial mathematics. Anyone interested in these areas will find much of value in these contributions.

This book presents the proceedings from the International Conference held in Halifax, NS in July 1997. Funded by The Fields Institute and Le Centre de Recherches Mathématiques, the conference was held in honor of the retirement of Professors Lynn Erbe and Herb I. Freedman (University of Alberta). Featured topics include ordinary, partial, functional, and stochastic differential equations and their applications to biology, epidemiology, neurobiology, physiology and other related areas. The 41 papers included in this volume represent the recent work of leading researchers over a wide range of subjects, including bifurcation theory, chaos, stability theory, boundary value problems, persistence theory, neural networks, disease transmission, population dynamics, pattern formation and more. The text would be suitable for a graduate or advanced undergraduate course study in mathematical biology. Features: An overview of current developments in differential equations and mathematical biology. Authoritative contributions from over 60 leading worldwide researchers. Original, refereed contributions.
