This book is about the dynamics of neural systems and should be suitable for those with a background in mathematics, physics, or engineering who want to see how their knowledge and skill sets can be applied in a neurobiological context. No prior knowledge of neuroscience is assumed, nor is advanced understanding of all aspects of applied mathematics! Rather, models and methods are introduced in the context of a typical neural phenomenon and a narrative developed that will allow the reader to test their understanding by tackling a set of mathematical problems at the end of each chapter. The emphasis is on mathematical- as opposed to computational-neuroscience, though stresses calculation above theorem and proof. The book presents necessary mathematical material in a digestible and compact form when required for specific topics. The book has nine chapters, progressing from the cell to the tissue, and an extensive set of references. It includes Markov chain models for ions,differential equations for single neuron models, idealised phenomenological models, phase oscillator networks, spiking networks, and integro-differential equations for large scale brain activity, with delays and stochasticity thrown in for good measure. One common methodological element that arises throughout the book is the use of techniques from nonsmooth dynamical systems to form tractable models and make explicit progress in calculating solutions for rhythmic neural behaviour, synchrony, waves, patterns, and their stability. This book was written for those with an interest in applied mathematics seeking to expand their horizons to cover the dynamics of neural systems. It is suitable for a Masters level course or for postgraduate researchers starting in the field of mathematical neuroscience.
Used in undergraduate classrooms across the USA, this is a clearly written, rigorous introduction to differential equations and their applications. Fully understandable to students who have had one year of calculus, this book distinguishes itself from other differential equations texts through its engaging application of the subject matter to interesting scenarios. This fourth edition incorporates earlier introductory material on bifurcation theory and adds a new chapter on Sturm-Liouville boundary value problems. Computer programs in C, Pascal, and Fortran are presented throughout the text to show readers how to apply differential equations towards quantitative problems.
To engage the reader, the text combines examples, basic ideas, rigorous proofs, and pointers to the literature to enhance scientific literacy.Volume I is divided into 23 chapters plus two appendices on Banach and Hilbert spaces and on differential calculus.
This text provides an application oriented introduction to the numerical methods for partial differential equations. The book examines modern topics such as adaptive methods, multilevel methods, and methods for convection-dominated problems and includes detailed illustrations and extensive exercises.
These techniques are applied to elliptic PDEs (diffusion, elasticity, the Helmholtz problem, Maxwell's equations), eigenvalue problems for elliptic PDEs, and PDEs in mixed form (Darcy and Stokes flows).
Students and researchers interested in mathematical modelling in mathematics, physics, engineering and the applied sciences will find this text useful.The material, and topics, have been updated to include recent developments in mathematical modeling.
The remainder of Volume III addresses time-dependent problems: parabolic equations (such as the heat equation), evolution equations without coercivity (Stokes flows, Friedrichs' systems), and nonlinear hyperbolic equations (scalar conservation equations, hyperbolic systems).
This book develops the theory of ordinary differential equations (ODEs), starting from an introductory level (with no prior experience in ODEs assumed) through to a graduate-level treatment of the qualitative theory, including bifurcation theory (but not chaos).
This text provides a framework in which the main objectives of the field of uncertainty quantification (UQ) are defined and an overview of the range of mathematical methods by which they can be achieved.
Finite element methods for approximating partial differential equations have reached a high degree of maturity, and are an indispensible tool in science and technology.
Numerous figures, advanced problems and proofs, examples, and exercises with solutions accompany the book, making it suitable for self-study. The book will be particularly useful for beginning graduate students from the physical, engineering, and mathematical sciences with a rigorous theoretical background.
The book is a comprehensive, self-contained introduction to the mathematical modeling and analysis of infectious diseases. Various types of deterministic dynamical models are considered: ordinary differential equation models, delay-differential equation models, difference equation models, age-structured PDE models and diffusion models.
This book offers a comprehensive and up-to-date treatment of modern methods in matrix computation. It uses a unified approach to direct and iterative methods for linear systems, least squares and eigenvalue problems.
This book presents various results and techniques from the theory of stochastic processes that are useful in the study of stochastic problems in the natural sciences.
In its expanded new edition, this book covers boundary layers, multiple scales, homogenisation, slender body theory, symbolic computing, discrete equations and more. Includes exercises derived from current research, drawn from a range of application areas.
Now in a second, expanded edition, this book bridges the gap between standard geometry books, which are primarily theoretical, and applied books on computer graphics and introduces a range of geometric methods including Lie groups and Euclidean geometry.
Based on the author's taught course at Arizona State University, this text focuses on the elements needed to understand the applications literature involving delay equations. It covers both the constructive and analytical mathematical models in the subject.
This is a substantially updated, extended and reorganized third edition of an introductory text on the use of integral transforms. Emphasis is on the development of techniques and the connection between properties of transforms and the kind of problems for which they provide tools.
In this second edition, new chapters and sections have been added, dealing with time optimal control of linear systems, variational and numerical approaches to nonlinear control, nonlinear controllability via Lie-algebraic methods, and controllability of recurrent nets and of linear systems with bounded controls.
The result of lectures given by the authors at New York University, the University of Utah, and Michigan State University, the material is written for students who have had only one term of calculus, but it contains material that can be used in modeling courses in applied mathematics at all levels through early graduate courses.
Unlike the many other textbooks on the topic of linear algebra, this book includes mathematical and computational chapters along with examples and exercises with Matlab. The authors use both Matlab and SciLab software as well as covering core standard material.
This is the third and yet further updated edition of a highly regarded mathematical text. Brenner develops the basic mathematical theory of the finite element method, the most widely used technique for engineering design and analysis.
Many books on stability theory of motion have been published in various lan guages, including English. Also, using appropriate examples, he demonstrates the process of investigating the stability of motion from the formulation of a problem and obtaining the differential equations of perturbed motion to complete analysis and recommendations.
This textbook, ideal for students and lecturers alike, is a systematic study of the qualitative and geometric theory of nonlinear differential equations and dynamical systems. It includes a thorough treatment of linear systems.
