SECOND EDITION
CHAPMAN & HALL/CRC
Mathematical and Computational Biology Series
Aims and scope:
This series aims to capture new developments and summarize what is known
over the entire spectrum of mathematical and computational biology and
medicine. It seeks to encourage the integration of mathematical, statistical,
and computational methods into biology by publishing a broad range of
textbooks, reference works, and handbooks. The titles included in the
series are meant to appeal to students, researchers, and professionals in the
mathematical, statistical and computational sciences, fundamental biology
and bioengineering, as well as interdisciplinary researchers involved in the
field. The inclusion of concrete examples and applications, and programming
techniques and examples, is highly encouraged.
