Publisher's Synopsis
This book charts the rapidly-growing area of inter-disciplinary research in the mathematical and computational modelling of biomedical systems. The impact high speed computers have made on scientific interpretation is recognized, and the book highlights the algorithmic approach in presenting the numerical methods. With its heavy emphasis on the detailed discussion of applications, it will interest the growing body of scientists researching or working in numerical modelling of natural phenomena.;The computer programs can be written straight from the methods and algorithms as they are presented in the text. A first course of calculus and algebra and the ability to write programs in high level scientific languagues are pre-requisites.
