It has been over a decade since the release of the now classic original edition of Murray''s Mathematical Biology.Since then mathematical biology has grown at an astonishing rate and is well established as a distinct discipline. Mathematical modeling is now being applied in every major discipline in the biomedical sciences. Though the field has become increasingly large and specialized, this book remains important as a text that introduces some of the exciting problems that arise in biology and gives some indication of the wide spectrum of questions that modeling can address.Due to the tremendous development in the field this book is being published in two volumes. This first volume is an introduction to the field, the mathematics mainly involves ordinary differential equations that are suitable for undergraduate and graduate courses at different levels. For this new edition Murray is covering certain items in depth, giving new applications such as modeling marital interactions and temperature dependence sex determination.SIAM, 2004: "Murray''s Mathematical Biology is a classic that belongs on the shelf of any serious student or researcher in the field. Together the two volumes contain well over 1000 references, a rich source of material, together with an excellent index to help readers quickly find key words. ... I recommend the new and expanded third edition to any serious young student interested in mathematical biology who already has a solid basis in applied mathematics."

Mims, C.; Playfair, John H. L.; Roitt, Ivan Esta segunda edición mantiene el enfoque único e innovador de la primera edición al concentrarse en el estudio dinámico del conflicto entre huésped y parásito y relacionarlo con los distintos sistemas del organismo y las enfermedades infecciosas que afectan a estos (que se tratan en las secciones clinicas pertinentes). Una aportacion importante de esta nueva edicion es el enfasis que se ha puesto en la inmunologia, resaltando el papel del sistema inmune en las enfermedades infecciosas, tanto en su contribucion a la defensa contra la infeccion como en la produccion de cambios inmunopatologicos. Destaca su marcado caracter didactico, que hace mucho mas asequible el estudio de esta dura disciplina. Con un resumen de puntos clave al final de cada capitulo, numerosas ilustraci

This new edition updates and greatly expands upon the first, with additional examples and exercises in various application domains as well as a new chapter on Quantum random walks and Fourier a

The evolution of a classic The new 12th edition of Introduction to Genetic Analysis takes this cornerstone textbook to the next level.

Nueva edición del texto de referencia en Genetica en el que se tratan de forma precisa los principios fundamentales de la genetica humana y medica, enfatizando en aquellos mecanismos moleculares y geneticos que subyacen en diferentes patologias humanas, proporcionando asi un nuevo avance hacia la medicina personalizada. La obra tiene un enfoque basicamente clinico, presentando a traves de sus capitulos las diferentes herramientas para poder diagnosticar y tratar de forma eficaz los diferentes trastornos de base genetica que afectan al ser humano. No obstante, el libro no pretende ser una obra enciclopedica, sino una obra que permita establecer al estudiante un marco generico para el conocimiento de la especialidad por parte del estudiante. La nueva edicion incorpora 4 colores y muchas de las imagenes de la edicion anterior se han renovado. Para reforzar el enfoque clinico, se han aña

This research monograph presents many new results in a rapidly developing area of great current interest. Guillemin, Ginzburg, and Karshon show that the underlying topological thread in the computation of invariants of G-manifolds is a consequence of a linearization theorem involving equivariant cobordisms. The book incorporates a novel approach and showcases exciting new research. During the last 20 years, ``localization'' has been one of the dominant themes in the area of equivariant differential geometry. Typical results are the Duistermaat-Heckman theory, the Berline-Vergne-Atiyah-Bott localization theorem in equivariant de Rham theory, and the ``quantization commutes with reduction'' theorem and its various corollaries. To formulate the idea that these theorems are all consequences of a single result involving equivariant cobordisms, the authors have developed a cobordism theory that allows the objects to be non-compact manifolds. A key ingredient in this non-compact cobordism is an equivariant-geometrical object which they call an ``abstract moment map''. This is a natural and important generalization of the notion of a moment map occurring in the theory of Hamiltonian dynamics. The book contains a number of appendices that include introductions to proper group-actions on manifolds, equivariant cohomology, Spin${mathrm{c $-structures, and stable complex structures. It is geared toward graduate students and research mathematicians interested in differential geometry. It is also suitable for topologists, Lie theorists, combinatorists, and theoretical physicists. Prerequisite is some expertise in calculus on manifolds and basic graduate-level differential geometry.

Algebraic groups play much the same role for algebraists as Lie groups play for analysts. This book is the first comprehensive introduction to the theory of algebraic group schemes over fields that includes the structure theory of semisimple algebraic groups, and is written in the language of modern algebraic geometry. The first eight chapters study general algebraic group schemes over a field and culminate in a proof of the Barsotti-Chevalley theorem, realizing every algebraic group as an extension of an abelian variety by an affine group. After a review of the Tannakian philosophy, the author provides short accounts of Lie algebras and finite group schemes. The later chapters treat reductive algebraic groups over arbitrary fields, including the Borel-Chevalley structure theory. Solvable algebraic groups are studied in detail. Prerequisites have also been kept to a minimum so that the book is accessible to non-specialists in algebraic geometry.
