Mathematical Biology

by Benoît Perthame (Author)
Provides the basic content for a course at master level on fundamental models in mathematics used for modeling in biology
Includes applications to ecology and population dynamics, neurosciences, enzymatic reactions and chemotaxis
Presents an original and rigorous presentation of several fundamental questions in mathematical biology such as Turing instability, pattern formation, reaction-diffusion systems, invasion waves and Fokker-Planck equations

Editors: Rogato, Alessandra, Zazzu, Valeria, Guarracino, Mario R. (Eds.)
Addresses key areas in biology that face demanding mathematical challenges
Contains timely and pertinent results in mathematical biology from international researchers
Features chapters on novel algorithms, methods and software tools for genome dynamics, dynamics of biological networks, pattern recognition dynamics, and dynamics of polymorphisms

Who was Nicolas Rashevsky? To answer that question, this book draws on Rashevsky’s unexplored personal archival papers and shares interviews with his family, students and friends, as well as discussions with biologists and mathematical biologists, to flesh out and complete the picture.
