In recent years, mathematics has been used in solving various real life problems. In particular, mathematical modelling plays a key role in the analysis of physiological/biological/mechanical systems. Diverse topics such as arterial blood flow, cardio-electric activity, bio-convection, gene coding, epidemic infection and body imaging can all be studied from a mathematical viewpoint. Progress in this field requires regular updated research and "Mathematical Biology" provides us with the latest developments and applications. It promotes interdisciplinary approaches to the study of biological systems using a variety of mathematical tools and numerical simulation. With 47 chapters from international contributors, this book will be a useful addition to the shelf of postgraduate medics and biologists, researchers and mathematicians with an interest outside mathematics!

Chemical science has made major advances in the last few decades and has gradually transformed in to a highly multidisciplinary subject that is exciting academically and at the same time beneficial to human kind. In this context, we owe much to the foundations laid by great pioneers of chemistry who contributed new knowledge and created new directions. This book presents the lives and times of 21 great chemists starting from Lavoisier (18th century) and ending with Sanger. Then, there are stories of the great Faraday (19th century) and of the 20th century geniuses G N Lewis and Linus Pauling. The material in the book is presented in the form of stories describing important aspects of the lives of these great personalities, besides highlighting their contributions to chemistry. It is hoped that the book will provide enjoyable reading and also inspiration to those who wish to understand the secret of the creativity of these great chemists.
