As 1 review these pages, the last of them written in Summer 1978, some retrospec- tive thoughts come to mind which put the whole business into better perspective for me and might aid the prospective reader in choosing how to approach this volume.
The "e;raison d'etre"e; of hierarchical dustering theory stems from one basic phe- nomenon: This is the notorious non-transitivity of similarity relations.
Mathematical biology - the use of mathematical ideas andmodels in the biosciences - is a fast growing, very excitingand increasingly important inderdisciplinary field.
CAR is a symposium and exhibition covering the impact of computer and communication systems applied to radiology and other medical disciplines, which use digital imaging for diagnosis and therapy planning.
Die Aufnahme der Biomathematik in das Studium der Medizin soll die Studierenden mit der Denkweise in einem Fach bekannt machen, dessen Methoden und Schlußweisen in immer stärkerem Maß Eingang in die Medizin finden, vor allem - zur Planung von Versuchen, - zur Bereitstellung objektiver Entscheidungsgrundlagen und - zur Komprimierung von Daten.
Das Anliegen dieses Werkes unterscheidet sich von vielen anderen dadurch, daß die Informationstechnik nicht aus der Sicht der materiell-energetischen Realisierung, also nicht unter dem Aspekt der zur Verfügung stehenden physikalischen Effekte und der dabei auftretenden technischen Probleme behandelt wird.
The current scarcity of expert systems where the reasoning is based on Bayesian probability theory may be due to misconceptions about probabilities found in the literature.
The 18 research articles of this volume discuss the major themes that have emerged from mathematical and statistical research in the epidemiology of HIV.
The body contains many cellular systems that require the continuous production of new, fully functional, differentiated cells to replace cells lacking or having limited self-renewal capabilities that die or are damaged during the lifetime of an individual.
This volume contains the proceedings of a meeting entitled 'Nonlinear Oscillations in Biology and Chemistry', which was held at the University of Utah May 9-11,1985.
The idea of organizing a symposium on mathematical models in biology came to some colleagues, members of the Accademia dei Lincei, in order to point out the importance of mathematics not only for supplying instruments for the elaboration and the evaluation of experimental data, but also for discussing the possibility of developing mathematical formulations of biological problems.
The papers gathered in this volume were presented at the medical sessions of the First Conference on Mathematics at the Service of Man held in Barcelona, Spain, July 11-16, 1977.
During the last decade and a half, studies of evolution and variation have been revolutionized by the introduction of the methods and concepts of molecular genetics.
The differential equations which model the action of selection and recombination are nonlinear equations which are impossible to It is even difficult to describe in general the solve explicitly.
When I was asked to help organize an American Association for the Advancement of Science symposium about how mathematical models have con- tributed to biology, I agreed immediately.
Wenn auch die Anzahl derjenigen, die den Inhalt dieses Buches durcharbeiten und in sich aufnehmen werden, nicht allzu groß sein wird, so meinten wir doch.
This volume contains the Proceedings of the International Conference in Population Biology held at The University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada from June 22 to June 30, 1982.
