All of the routines in the book Method of Lines 
PDE Analysis in Biomedical Science and Engineering
are written in R, an open source scientific computing
system.  Thus, it will be necessary to download R 
from the Internet, as explained in the following 
instructions (R is available for Windows, Mac and
Linux). 

Instructions follow for installing and executing: 

(1) R, a general-purpose scientific computing system

(2) Rstudio, a recommended editor for R

(3) The R routines for Method of Lines PDE Analysis
    in Biomedical Science and Engineering, i.e, folders
    chap1 to chap10, 

For downloading R, Rstudio, and using the R routines: 

(1) Home page for R:

  http://www.r-project.org/

  Then go to download link.

(2) Direct link to R download link:
 
  http://cran.fhcrc.org/

  In R, use "Packages" link to install the library for 
  ordinary differential equations (ODEs): deSolve

(3) To download Rstudio

  http://rstudio.org/

  Select one of the following:

  RStudio 0.99.491 - Windows Vista/7/8/10 73.9 MB 
  (dated 2015-12-30)

  RStudio 0.99.491 - Mac OS X 10.6+ (64-bit) 56.2 MB 
  (dated 2015-12-30)

  In Rstudio, use "Packages" link to install the library for 
  ordinary differential equations (ODEs): deSolve

(4) To use the R files in folders chap1 to chap10, copy 
  and paste the main programs, e.g., pde_1a_main.R in folder 
  chap1, into R at the prompt and use "Enter".  Note that 
  it will first be necessary to edit the setwd (set working 
  directory) in each main program to define the location 
  (directory, folder) where the R routines reside.

  Alternatively, the main program can be copied and pasted 
  into the R window (followed by "Enter") - that is, Rstudio 
  is not used to execute the R routines, but this will 
  circumvent the excellent graphics via "Plots" in Rstudio.
