Mathematical Methods in Medical and Biological Sciences (Advanced Studies in Complex Systems)

Mathematical Methods in Medical and Biological Sciences presents mathematical methods for computational models arising in the medical and biological sciences. The book presents several real-life medical and biological models, such as infectious and non-infectious diseases that can be modeled mathematically to accomplish profound research in virtual environments when the cost of laboratory expenses is relatively high. It focuses on mathematical techniques that provide global solutions for models arising in medical and biological sciences by considering their long-term benefits. In addition, the book provides leading-edge developments and insights for a range of applications, including epidemiological modeling of pandemic dynamics, viral infection developments, cancer developments, blood oxygen dynamics, HIV infection spread, reaction-diffusion models, polio infection spread, and chaos modeling with fractional order derivatives.

• Presents the mathematical treatment of a wide range of real-life medical and biological models, including both infectious and non-infectious diseases
• Provides in-depth analysis of the spread of Covid-19, polio, and HIV, including discussion of computational methods and applications
• Includes computational modeling methods, along with their practical applications, providing the basis for further exploration and research in epidemiology and applied biomedical sciences
