Preface
This book is about computational modelling of nutrient focused biological systems. The book is aimed at students, researchers, and those with an interest in learning how to build a computational model. The book is the product of many years of teaching computational modelling to undergraduates, postgraduates, and researchers with limited, or no background in computational modelling. What I learned from these experiences is those new to modelling are invariably apprehensive about it and approach it with a degree of trepidation, or even scepticism. However, from tentative initial steps, they quickly realize that modelling is not as challenging or as academically intimidating as they initially perceive it; and after gaining familiarity with the essential components of model building they rapidly become cognizant that it offers an alternative lens to view a biological system and learn new insights about its underlying dynamic behaviour. In this book, I provide a practical introduction to modelling, for those who are interested in exploring the dynamics of nutrient-based systems. My rationale for undertaking this project is based on my experience of interacting with nutritionists in recent years. As a result of many fruitful discussions, I identified a growing need for a book of this
