Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

Signs of Life applies the mathematics of order and disorder, of entropy, chance, and randomness, of chaos and nonlinear dynamics to the various mysteries of the living world at all levels. This book is an entirely new approach to understanding living systems and will help set the agenda for biology in the coming century.

Reseña del editor:

In 'Signs of Life', the authors apply the mathematical tools of complexity theory to model biological processes in terms of complex dynamics from which characteristic patterns of order emerge. They examine genetic networks - such as chaos in brain function and the emergent phenomenon of ant colonies - in order to explain this phenomena.
