Biomathematics - An Introduction

Biomathematics – An Introduction (1976)
David Machin · Macmillan Press · Paperback

Before algorithms ruled every corner of the biosciences, there was this quietly authoritative classic from statistician David Machin—an entry-level guide to the curious marriage of maths and biology.

Published in 1976, Biomathematics – An Introduction is your no-nonsense, slide-rule-era companion through topics like population dynamics, enzyme kinetics, epidemic modelling, and growth curves—all tackled with a level head, clear prose, and a fondness for differential equations. It’s the kind of book that assumes you’ve got a pencil behind your ear and graph paper within reach.

Here at Crappy Old Books, our copy may be slightly yellowed, but don’t let that fool you: the maths inside is still crisp, the insights still relevant, and the occasional graph still charmingly hand-drawn. Whether you’re brushing up for nostalgia or just need something sturdy to prop up your laptop and your knowledge of logistic growth models, this one delivers.

Because sometimes, the best way to understand modern bioinformatics is to start in 1976.
