Opis

This hands-on tutorial text for non-experts demonstrates biological applications of a versatile modeling and optimization technique.

Recenzje

'Once again, Dan Gusfield has written an accessible book that shows that algorithmic rigor need not be sacrificed when solving real-world problems. He explains integer linear programming in the context of real-world biology. In doing so, the reader has an enriched understanding of both algorithmic details and the challenges in modern biology.' Russ Altman, Stanford University, California
