Preface
This is the fourth volume in the series “Tutorials in Mathematical Biosciences.” These lectures are based on material which was presented in tutorials or developed by visitors and postdoctoral fellows of the Mathematical Biosciences 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 first volume was devoted to mathematical neuroscience, which was the focus of the MBI program 2002–2003. The second volume dealt with mathematical modeling of calcium dynamics in signal transduction, the focus of the MBI program in the winter of 2004. The third volume dealt with topics of cell cycle, tumor growth, and cancer therapy; these topics featured in several workshops held at the MBI in the fall of 200
