Some Mathematics of Biological Oscillations

A description is given of the qualitative theory of ordinary differential equations which can be used to analyze oscillatory systems in biology, i.e., the existence and stability of periodic solutions of n-dimensional nonlinear systems of ordinary differential equations. The theory is organized around the biological topics. References to interacting chemical systems are also included.
