Problems in engineering, computational science, and the physical and biological sciences are using increasingly sophisticated mathematical techniques. Thus, the bridge between the mathematical sciences and other disciplines is heavily traveled. The correspondingly increased dialog between the disciplines has led to the establishment of the series: Interdisciplinary Applied Mathematics. The purpose of this series is to meet the current and future needs for the interaction between various science and technology areas on the one hand and mathematics on the other. This is done, firstly, by encouraging the ways that mathematics may be applied in traditional areas, as well as point towards new and innovative areas of applications; and, secondly, by encouraging other scientific disciplines to engage in a dialog with mathematicians outlining their problems to both access new methods and suggest innovative developments within mathematics itself. The series will consist of monographs and high-level texts from researchers working on the interplay between mathematics and other fields of science and technology.

Reviews of First Edition (continued from back cover)
“The interdisciplinary structural biology community has waited long for a book of this kind which provides an excellent introduction to molecular modeling.” (Harold A. Scheraga, Cornell University) “A uniquely valuable introduction to the modeling of biomolecular structure and dynamics. A rigorous and up-to-date treatment of the foundations, enlivened by engaging anecdotes and historical notes.” (J. Andrew McCammon, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, University of California at San Diego) “The text is beautifully illustrated with many color illustrations. Even part of the text is typeset in color. Not only the illustrations interrupt the very readable text, there are also many box-insertions . . . ” (Adhemar Bultheel, Bulletin of the Belgian Mathematical Society, Vol. 11 (4), 2004) “This textbook evolved from a graduate course in molecular modeling, and was expanded to serve as an introduction to the field for scientists in other disciplines. . . . The book is unique in that it combines introductory molecular biology with advanced topics in modern simulation algorithms . . . . the author provides 1000+ references, and additionally includes reading lists complementing the main text. This is an excellent introductory text that is a pleasure to read.” (Henry van den Bedem, MathSciNet, September, 2004) “This book provides an excellent introduction to the modeling of biomolecular structures and dynamics. . . . The book’s appendices complement the material in the main text through homework assignments, reading lists, and other information useful for teaching molecular modeling. The book is intended for students of an interdisciplinary graduate course in molecular modeling as well as for researchers (physicists, mathematicians and engineers) to get them started in computational molecular biology.” (Ivan Krivy, Univers
