More Description
This book brings theories in nonlinear dynamics, stochastic processes, irreversible thermodynamics, physical chemistry and biochemistry together in an introductory but formal and comprehensive manner.nbsp;Coupled with examples, the theories are developed stepwise, starting with the simplest concepts and building upon them into a more general framework.nbsp;Furthermore, each new mathematical derivation is immediately applied to one or more biological systems.nbsp;The last chapters focus on applying mathematical and physical techniques to study systems such as: gene regulatory networks and molecular motors.
The target audience of this book are mainly final year undergraduate and graduate students with a solid mathematical background (physicists, mathematicians and engineers), as well as with basic notions of biochemistry and cellular biology. This book can also be useful to students with a biological background who are interested in mathematical modeling and have a working knowledge of calculus, differential equations and a basic understanding of probability theory.
