{"product_id":"mathematical-physiology-interdisciplinary-applied-mathematics-9780387983813","title":"Mathematical Physiology (Interdisciplinary Applied Mathematics)","description":"\u003cp\u003eMathematical Physiology provides an introduction into physiology using the tools and perspectives of mathematical modeling and analysis. It describes ways in which mathematical theory may be used to give insights into physiological questions and how physiological questions can in turn lead to new mathematical problems. The book is divided in two parts  the first dealing with the fundamental principles of cell physiology  and the second with the physiology of systems. In the first part  after an introduction to basic biochemistry and enzyme reactions  the authors discuss volume control  the membrane potential  ionic flow through channels  excitability  calcium dynamics  and electrical bursting. This first part concludes with spatial aspects such as synaptic transmission  gap junctions  the linear cable equation  nonlinear wave propagation in neurons  and calcium waves. In the second part  the human body is studied piece by piece  beginning with an introduction to electrocardiology  followed by the physiology of the circulatory system  blood muscle  hormones  and kindeys. Finally  the authors examine the digestive system and the visual system  ending with the inner ear. This book will be of interest to researchers  to graduate students and advanced undergraduate students in applied mathematics who wish to learn how to build and analyze mathematical models and become familiar with new areas of applications  as well as to physiologists interested in learning about theoretical approaches to their work. Mathematical Reviews  2000: \"This is neither a physiology book nor a mathematics book  but it is probably the best book ever written on the interdisciplinary field of mathematical physiology  i.e. mathematics applied to modelling physiological phenomena. The book is highly recommended to anybody interested in mathematical or theoretical physiology.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45651869728821,"sku":"ByrdShop_0387983813","price":47.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780387983813.jpg?v=1781843106","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/mathematical-physiology-interdisciplinary-applied-mathematics-9780387983813","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
