Preface
This is the second volume in the series “Lectures in Mathematical Biosciences”. These lectures are based on material which was presented in tutorials or developed by visitors and postdoctoral fellows of the Mathematical Bioscience Institute (MBI), at The Ohio State University. The aim of this series is to introduce graduate students and researchers with just a little background in either mathematics or biology to mathematical modeling of biological processes. The present volume is devoted to Mathematical Modeling of Calcium Dynamics and Signal Transduction, which was the focus of the MBI program in the winter of 2004; documentation of that program, including streaming videos of the workshops, can be found on the website http://mbi.osu.edu. This volume was organized and edited by James Sneyd. Sneyd is a world leader in mathematical physiology and biology, and has been working extensively on modeling biological processes of signal transduction induced by calcium oscillations. Some of the chapters describe mathema
