Description

The second edition of Mathematics as a Laboratory Tool reflects the growing impact that computational science is having on the career choices made by undergraduate science and engineering students.� The focus is on dynamics and the effects of time delays and stochastic perturbations (�noise�) on the regulation provided by feedback control systems.� The concepts are illustrated with applications to gene regulatory networks, motor control, neuroscience and population biology.� �The presentation in the first edition has been extended to include discussions of neuronal excitability and bursting, multistability, microchaos, Bayesian inference, second-order delay differential equations, and the semi-discretization method for the numerical integration of delay differential equations. � Every effort has been made to ensure that the material is accessible to those with a background in calculus.� The text provides advanced mathematical concepts such as the Laplace and Fourier integral transforms in the form of Tools.� �Bayesian inference is introduced using a number of detective-type scenarios including the Monty Hall problem.Typham this is the title: Mathematics as a Laboratory Tool Dynamics, Delays and Noise 2nd Edition
