Infos

Modeling is now one of the most efficient methodologies in life
sciences. From practice to theory, this book develops this approach
illustrated by many examples; general concepts and the current
state of the art are also presented and discussed.

An historical and general introduction informs the reader how
mathematics and formal tools are used to solve biological problems
at all levels of the organization of life. The core of this book
explains how this is done, based on practical examples coming, for
the most part, from the author's personal experience. In most
cases, data are included so that the reader can follow the
reasoning process and even reproduce calculus. The final chapter is
devoted to essential concepts and current developments. The main
mathematical tools are presented in an appendix to the book and are
written in an adapted language readable by scientists,
professionals or students, with a basic knowledge of
mathematics.
