Descriere completă

Spatio--temporal pattern formation is a major area of research within the subject of mathematical biology. The topic involves the use of mathematical modelling to analyse how patterns in biology are created and develop. For example, the growth, over time, of the intricate and beautiful patterns on certain sea--shells or the striped markings on a tiger can be modelled and their development predicted in terms of nonlinear mathematical processes. The current volume captures the breadth of recent research into various aspects of spatio--temporal pattern and form, such as development biology, reaction--diffusion systems and morphometrics. Brings the ideas of the classic On Growth and Form by Da Arcy Thompson, the founding classic of mathematical biology, fully up to date and looks to future developments in the subject. aeo Foreword provided by Professor John Tyler Bonner, Princeton University. aeo World class collection of internationally renowned contributors from both experimental and theoretical backgrounds Taking its inspiration from Da Arcy Thompsona s classic and still influential volume On Growth and Form, this new volume presents a collection of 21 articles from the Plenary Speakers of the recent Da Arcy Thompson Conference, held at the University of Dundee, 20--24 September 1998. The topics covered include pattern formation in development biology, reaction--diffusion systems, intercellular systems and morphometrics, offering the reader a stimulating blend of theory and experiment. This book will be of particular interest to bio--mathematicians and development biologists. Paediatric clinicians, evolutionary biologists, orthodontists, anatomists, physiologists and many other members of the biology community will also benefit greatly from it.
