This study book, written by Arthur T. Winfree, focuses on the dynamics of biological rhythms. This revised and updated edition expands the original work with insights from 1980 to the present. Among other things, it addresses spatial biochemical and electrophysiological systems and explores phase singularities in biological patterns.
Description
Geometry of Biological Time discusses processes that repeat regularly as a fundamental principle in living systems. In this updated edition, new developments in the field of cell membrane excitability and organism dynamics have been incorporated. This book is relevant for researchers and students in applied mathematics and biology who focus on rhythmic biological processes and complex systems.
