Mathematics and Life Sciences

The new series will explore all aspects of the intersection of mathematics and the life sciences, including mathematical modeling of biological systems and processes, bioinformatics, computational evolutionary biology, and comparative genomics. In this inaugural volume, contributors identified only by name consider such topics as the mathematical and statistical modeling of biological systems, new results in mathematical epidemiology and modeling dynamics of infectious diseases, axiomatic modeling in life sciences with case studies for virus-immune system and oncolytic virus dynamics, mathematical models of pattern formation and their applications in developmental biology, statistical modeling in life sciences and direct measurements, and designing and developing experiments for life science applications.
