Sinopsis

Increasingly, mathematical methods are being used to advantage in addressing the problems facing humanity in managing its environment. Problems in resource management and epidemiology especially have demonstrated the utility of quantitative modeling. To explore these approaches, the Center of Applied Mathematics at Cornell University organized a conference in Fall, 1987, with the objective of surveying and assessing the state of the art. This volume records the proceedings of that conference. Underlying virtually all of these studies are models of population growth, from individual cells to large vertebrates. Cell population growth presents the simplest of systems for study, and is of fundamental importance in its own right for a variety of medical and environmental applications. In Part I of this volume, Michael Shuler describes computer models of individual cells and cell populations, and Frank Hoppensteadt discusses the synchronization of bacterial culture growth. Together, these provide a valuable introduction to mathematical cell biology.

Reseña del editor

The Center for Applied Mathematics at Cornell University sponsored a Special Year on Resource Management and Environmental Problem Solving in 1987-88 culminating in a Symposium on Mathematical Approaches to Resource Management and Epidemiology (October 28-30, 1987), aimed at identifying critical problems and new directions demanding mathematical attention, in these areas. The contributions of the invited speakers, recorded in this volume, describe and analyze models in areas such as cell population growth, plant population dynamics, and the spread of AIDS. They also address methodological aspects, and theoretical and interdisciplinary issues including the interplay between population biology, management, and economics, and the relationship between models and data. Throughout authors review past contributions and point to new directions.
