Preface
In questions of science, the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual. Galileo Galilei
Mathematical and computational methods have permeated nearly every filed of biological and medical science. This book is concerned with the mathematical modeling of complex biological systems and in particular the human stomach. The idea of writing the book has its roots in the 1980s when I first engaged myself in a research endeavor related to the biomechanics of the human stomach. Over the years, the subject has evolved and many new biological aspects have been added. The project follows the four modern P’s approach (prevention, prediction, personalization, and precision in medicine) addressing the highly heterogeneous nature of processes underlying gastric motility disorders manifested as gastroparesis, functional dyspepsia, myenteric enteropathy, etc. This entails a deep and thorough understanding of driving pathophysiological mechanisms as well as the collaborative effort of specialists working in fundamental and biological science. Such a multidisciplinary partnership is vital because it upholds gnostic capabilities and provides the exchang
