About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
“The intersection of biological and computational sciences is well served by this clear, well-written, and interesting guide to the variety of methods currently being used to formulate computational models for biological systems. … the book very accessible to a wide range of readers--from students to experienced researchers--from a variety of backgrounds. … Thus, this volume is very timely. … Overall, this book is an excellent and approachable introduction to biological modeling.” (Sara Kalvala, ACM Computing Reviews, May, 2011)Authors and Affiliations
