Description
Mathematics of Bioinformatics: Theory, Methods, andApplications provides a comprehensive format forconnecting and integrating information derived from mathematicalmethods and applying it to the understanding of biologicalsequences, structures, and networks. Each chapter is divided into anumber of sections based on the bioinformatics topics and relatedmathematical theory and methods. Each topic of the section iscomprised of the following three parts: an introduction to thebiological problems in bioinformatics; a presentationof relevant topics of mathematical theory and methods to thebioinformatics problems introduced in the first part; anintegrative overview that draws the connections and interfacesbetween bioinformatics problems/issues and mathematicaltheory/methods/applications.
