Description
Book Synopsis
This book is an overview of mathematical physiology. It contains a variety of physiological problems and the current and new mathematical techniques used in this area. It will be of interest both to applied mathematicians and quantitative physiologists.From the Back Cover
The intersection of mathematics and physiology has a rich history, with mathematical models playing a vital role in advancing our understanding of cellular, organ, and whole-body physiological systems. This updated edition of the prize-winning text Mathematical Physiology explores classic and contemporary models, showing how real-world physiological problems can be studied using mathematical techniques.
Key new features include:
- Complete code: Almost all the models come with computational code (in Matlab, Python, and XPPAUT) enabling hands-on experimentation.
- Solutions: Solutions and complete code for all exercises.
- Figures: Downloadable figures in PDF format for easy use in lectures or presentations.
James Keener is a Distinguished Professor of Mathematics at the University of Utah, USA.
James Sneyd is a Professor of Mathematics at the University of Auckland, New Zealand.
Praise for the First Edition:
"...probably the best book ever written on the interdisciplinary field of mathematical physiology." Mathematical Reviews, 2000
"In addition to being good reading, excellent pedagogy, and appealing science, the exposition is lucid and clear, and there are many good problem sets to choose from... Highly recommended." Mathematical Biosciences, 1999
"It directs students to become not merely skilled technicians in biological research but masters of the science." SIAM, 2004
The first edition was the winner of the 1998 Association of American Publishers "Best New Title in Mathematics."
