Produktbeschreibung

Die mathematische Biologie ist ein neues, schnell wachsendes Forschungsgebiet, zu dessen zentralen Themen die Ausbildung von Raum-Zeit-Mustern gehört. 18 Beiträge der D'Arcy-Thompson-Konferenz, die in diesem Band zusammengestellt wurden, spiegeln das ganze Spektrum dieser Forschungsrichtung wider - Entwicklungsbiologie, Reaktions-Diffusions-Systeme, Morphometrie und andere Aspekte.
