Origins of Biocomplexity

The Fundamental Principles of Life in Terms of Physics

About this book

The De Gruyter Series in Mathematics and Life Sciences is dedicated to publishing monographs that explore the connection between mathematical, physical, computational, stochastic, and statistical modeling in all areas of life sciences and natural phenomena research. Apart from a focus on complex systems, the series also addresses new types of mathematical problems that emerge with biological, environmental, and real-world mathematical modeling research.

The main objectives is to make such expositions available to and accessible by an interdisciplinary, growing readership hailing from all disciplines involved. The volumes shall convey the context of the given topic and enable these readers to understand, apply and develop further mathematical methods to given problems in life science. For this reason, works with up to four authors are preferred over edited volumes.

Therefore, contributions which are on the borderline of mathematics and life sciences and which stimulate further research at the crossroads of these areas are particularly welcome. In addition, use of electronic media to demonstrate, visualize and model the methods presented are very welcome, especially when interwoven with the written text.
