Description
Market: Physicists, mathematicians, biologists, physiologists, and physicians interested in the latest research in this growing area of nonlinear science. Here are 29 ground-breaking research papers presented at a 1994 workshop in Quebec that offer fresh insights into the possible etiology and treatment of disease. Each chapter reveals how mathematical methods for understanding dynamical behavior in nonlinear equations are ideally suited to the analysis of complex rhythms confronted by physicians.
