Beskrivning

This practical introduction to stochastic reaction-diffusion modelling is based on courses taught at the University of Oxford. The authors discuss the essence of mathematical methods which appear (under different names) in a number of interdisciplinary scientific fields bridging mathematics and computations with biology and chemistry. The book can be used both for self-study and as a supporting text for advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate-level courses in applied mathematics. New mathematical approaches are explained using simple examples of biological models, which range in size from simulations of small biomolecules to groups of animals. The book starts with stochastic modelling of chemical reactions, introducing stochastic simulation algorithms and mathematical methods for analysis of stochastic models. Different stochastic spatio-temporal models are then studied, including models of diffusion and stochastic reaction-diffusion modelling. The methods covered include molecular dynamics, Brownian dynamics, velocity jump processes and compartment-based (lattice-based) models.

Recensioner i media

'The text can be used effectively for solitary study or as a textbook for a course offered at the boundary between undergraduate and beginning graduate study … This is a remarkable, even admirable, work that bears the mark of its Oxford origins. Its potential audience includes chemists and mathematicians as well as adventuresome biologists and physicists and perhaps even bright or intrepid general readers.' A. E. Viste, Choice
