Fractals in Biology and Medicine: Volume IV (Mathematics and Biosciences in Interaction)

This volume is number four in a series of proceedings volumes from the International Symposia on Fractals in Biology and Medicine in Ascona, Switzerland which have been inspired by the work of Benoît Mandelbrot seeking to extend the concepts towards the life sciences. It highlights the potential that fractal geometry offers for elucidating and explaining the complex make-up of cells, tissues and biological organisms either in normal or in pathological conditions. This Book Is A Compilation Of The Presentations Given At The Fourth International Symposium On Fractals In Biology And Medicine Held In Ascona, Switzerland On 10-13 March 2004 And Was Dedicated To Professor Benoît Mandelbrot In Honour Of This 80th Birthday. The Symposium Was The Fourth Of A Series That Originated Back In 1993, Always In Ascona.
