O autorze

Janice L. Pappas has BA, BS, PhD degrees from the University of Michigan and an MA degree from Drake University. She is a theoretical and mathematical biologist and her work includes studies on diatoms and other organisms in morphometrics, morphogenesis, biological symmetry and complexity, evolutionary processes, and evolutionary ecology. Mathematics used in studies includes stochastic and delay differential and partial differential equations, orthogonal polynomials, differential geometry, probability theory, optimization theory, group theory, machine learning, information theory, and ergodic theory. Some specific studies include Morse theory and morphospace dynamics; fuzzy measures in systematics; vector spaces in ecological analysis; combinatorics and dynamical systems in macroevolutionary processes.
