Ask HN: Books for "Mathematics in Biology"
HNers: could you suggest me a book or two in 'Mathematics in Biology'. Beginners or intermediate is what I am looking at.
I was intrigued by "Essential Mathematical Biology" http://www.amazon.com/reader/185233536X).
I usually pick a book based on amazon ratings. I also pour through HN comments and find it equally rated.(eg: "random walk thru walk street" on amazon vs the comments here at HN)

Mathematical approaches differ greatly depending on the area of biology. I could recommend a good review if I knew your favorite area.
