This book presents concise descriptions and analysis of the classical and modern models used in
mathematical biophysics. The authors ask the question what new information can be provided by
the models that cannot be obtained directly from experimental data? Actively developing fields
such as regulatory mechanisms in cells and subcellular systems and electron transport and
energy transport in membranes are addressed together with more classical topics such as
metabolic processes nerve conduction and heart activity chemical kinetics population
dynamics and photosynthesis. The main approach is to describe biological processes using
different mathematical approaches necessary to reveal characteristic features and properties of
simulated systems. With the emergence of powerful mathematics software packages such as MAPLE
Mathematica Mathcad and MatLab these methodologies are now accessible to a wide audience.
