Title
Fractal
physiology
and
chaos
in
medicine
Creator
West, Bruce J.
Contributors
World Scientific (Firm)
Description-Abstract
This
exceptional
book
is
concerned
with the
application
of
fractals
and
chaos
, as
well
as
other
concepts
from
nonlinear
dynamics
to
biomedical
phenomena
.
Herein
we
seek
to
communicate
the
excitement
being
experienced
by
scientists
upon
making
application
of these
concepts
within
the
life
sciences
.
Mathematical
concepts
are
introduced
using
biomedical
data
sets
and the
phenomena
being
explained
take
precedence
over
the
mathematics
. In this
new
edition
what has
withstood
the
test
of
time
has been
updated
and
modernized
;
speculations
that were not
borne
out
have been
expunged
and the
breakthroughs
that have
occurred
in the
intervening
years
are
emphasized
. The
book
provides
a
comprehensive
overview
of a
nascent
theory
of
medicine
,
including
a
new
chapter
on the
theory
of
complex
networks
as they
pertain
to
medicine
.
