In this small book I have tried to confine myself to the absolute necessities in a field which requires a knowledge of both biology and physics. Advanced students will be able to take the subject further if they look up some of the references.

The properties of continuous variation are basic to the theory of evolution and to the practice of plant and animal improvement.

The purpose of this book is to provide the student beginning undergraduate mathematics with a solid foundation in the basic logical concepts necessary for most of the subjects encountered in a university mathematics course.

Since the first edition of this book in 1967, interest in sarcoidosis has increased world-wide, leading to increasing numbers of published clinical, epidemiological and laboratory studies, notably in immunology and in the pathogenesis of granulomatous inflammation.
