Product Description: Professor Cronin offers, for the first time, a synthesis of the work of Hodgkin and Huxley on nerve conduction. This information has previously been scattered throughout various media and difficult to retrieve. In this book the author thoroughly describes and analyzes their mathematical models (nonlinear ordinary and partial differential equations) and later models...read more

Product Description: To understand multiscale phenomena, it is essential to employ asymptotic methods to construct approximate solutions and to design effective computational algorithms. This volume consists of articles based on the AMS Short Course in Singular Perturbations held at the annual Joint Mathematics Meetings in Baltimore (MD)...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)

Product Description: This text, now in its second edition, presents the basic theory of ordinary differential equations and relates the topological theory used in differential equations to advanced applications in chemistry and biology. It provides new motivations for studying extension theorems and existence theorems, supplies real-world examples, gives an early introduction to the use of geometric methods and offers a novel treatment of the Sturm-Liouville theory...read more
