Mathematics for Life Science and Medicine edited by Yasuhiro Takeuchi, Yoh Iwasa, Kazunori Sato.

Dynamical systems theory in mathematical biology has attracted much attention from many scientific directions. The purpose of this volume is to present and discuss the many rich properties of the dynamical systems that appear in life science and medicine. The main topics include cancer treatment, dy...
