Description
Book SynopsisThis volume contains the selected contributed papers of the BIOMAT 2010 International Symposium which has been organized as a joint conference with the 2010 Annual Meeting of the Society for Mathematical Biology (www.smb.org) by invitation of the Director Board of this Society. The works presented at Tutorial and Plenary Sessions by expert keynote speakers have been also included.This book contains state-of-the-art articles on special research topics on mathematical biology, biological physics and mathematical modelling of biosystems; comprehensive reviews on interdisciplinary areas written by prominent leaders of scientific research groups. The treatment is both pedagogical and sufficiently advanced to enhance future scientific research.
