Modelling Methodology for Physiology and Medicine

Modelling Methodology for Physiology and Medicine offers a unique approach and an unprecedented range of coverage of the state-of-the-art, advanced modelling methodology that is widely applicable to physiology and medicine. The book opens with a clear and integrated treatment of advanced methodology for developing mathematical models of physiology and medical systems. Readers are then shown how to apply this methodology beneficially to real-world problems in physiology and medicine, such as circulation and respiration.

• Builds upon and enhances the readers existing knowledge of modelling methodology and practice
• Editors are internationally renowned leaders in their respective fields

Audience: Practitioners, researchers, and students in the field of modelling with specialties in physiology and medicine (drawn from the related fields of engineering, informatics, computing, medicine, and physiology).

This book provides state-of-the-art treatment of advanced methodology for the development of mathematical models of physiological and medical systems. This methodology is then applied to a range of real-world problems of circulation and respiration and in metabolism and endocrinology. There is no book currently available that provides such an approach or this range of coverage. This volume is written by authors drawn from two authoritative, internationally-renowned teams; and it is edited by two leaders in the field of physiological modelling who have extensive research experience and publication track records. In addition, Modelling Methodology for Physiology and Medicine is written in an integrated manner for ease of communication, and its editors have extensive experience teaching this material at a range of levels to both technical and clinical audiences.
From this book the reader will gain knowledge of the state of the art, advanced modelling methodology that has wide applicability in physiology and medicine. They will also acquire an understanding of how such methodology can be applied beneficially in tackling real-world problems in physiology and medicine. Finally, this volume will enable the reader to build logically on, and to update their existing knowlege of modelling methodology and practice.
