AIMS AND SCOPE
This series seeks to encourage the advancement of theoretical and
quantitative approaches to biology, and to the development of unifying
principles of biological organization and function, through the publication
of significant monographs, textbooks and synthetic compendia in mathematical
and computational biology. The scope of the series will be broad, ranging
from molecular structure and processes to the dynamics of ecosystems and the
biosphere, but unified through evolutionary and physical principles, and the
interplay of processes across scales of biological organization.
The principal criteria for publication beyond the intrinsic quality of the
work will be substantive biological content and import, and innovative
development or application of mathematical or computational methods. Topics
will include but not be limited to cell and molecular biology, functional
morphology and physiology, neurobiology and higher function, immunology and
epidemiology, and the ecological and evolutionary dynamics of interacting
populations. The most successful contributions, however, will not be so
easily categorized, crossing boundaries and providing integrative
perspectives that unify diverse approaches; the study of infectious
diseases, for example, ranges from the molecule to the ecosystem, involving
mechanistic investigations at the level of the cell and the immune system,
evolutionary perspectives as viewed through sequence analysis and population
genetics, and demographic and epidemiological aspects at the level of the
ecological community.
The objective of the series is the integration of mathematical and
computational methods into biological work; the volumes published hence
should be of interest both to fundamental biologists and to computational
and mathematical scientists, as well as to the broad spectrum of
interdisciplinary researchers that comprise the continuum connecting these
diverse disciplines
READERSHIP
Researchers, students and professionals in computational and mathematical
sciences and fundamental biology, as well as to the broad spectrum of
interdisciplinary researchers that comprise the continuum connecting these
diverse disciplines.
