Fractal physiology and chaos in medicine / Bruce J. West

TextoSeries Sudies of nonlinear phenomena in life science ; 1Detalles de publicación: Singapore : World Scientific, 1990 Descripción: 278 p. : gráf. ; 22 cmISBN: 981-02-0128-1; 981-02-0127-3Tema(s): Fractales | Sistemas dinámicos (Matemáticas) | Biomatemáticas | FisiologíaResumen: This book discusses the application of the concepts of fractals and chaos to biomedical phenomena. In particular, it argues against the outdated notion of homeostasis; using biomedical data sets and modern mathematical concepts, the author attempts to convince the reader that life is at least a homeodynamic process with multiple states - each being capable of survival. Although relying heavily on the new mathematical ideas, the author has attempted to make the book self-contained. The mathematics is developed in a biological context and mathematical formulation for its own sake is avoided. In this book, the phenomena to be explained motivate the mathematical development rather than the other way round.
