Computational Cell Biology

Computational Cell Biology is a recent introductory textbook for dynamic modelling in cell biology. Although targeted at the advanced undergraduate or graduate level, the teaching starts simply and requires very little prior knowledge from the reader. Each chapter considers a molecular based process in cell biology, of increasing complexity. Starting with a brief summary of the biological question, each section introduces very clearly the models, their variables and the differential equations describing their evolution. The bulk of each chapter is usually a description of a mathematical tool and its use to analyse the behaviour of the equations. Comparison with experiments and numerous exercises are included, together with commented references for further reading on the biological matter or the mathematical techniques used. The result is a very didactic, easy to read and excellent introduction to the subject.
