Why read it?
1 author picked A First Course in Systems Biology as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
One of the best broad-based textbooks covering a wide gamut of topics, and in-depth coverage of dynamic models. I like this book for a particularly engaging introduction to the practice of mathematical modelling, excellent catchy illustrations, and nice exercise problems/reading material at the end of each chapter. The book chooses to organise the methods by the type of network (gene systems, protein systems, metabolic systems, and so on). Voit is a very accomplished researcher in the area of dynamic systems modelling and is particularly known for his contributions to Biochemical Systems Theory.
From Karthik's list on modelling biological systems and networks.
