This book surveys the state of the art in theoretical and computer modeling for biological sciences. Using both mathematical and stochastic computer models of biological systems, the author focuses in particular on three central topics: the origin of life, the immune system, and memory in the brain. Throughout the book, the author emphasizes how the power of modern computers is allowing researchers in theoretical biology to break free of the constraints on modeling that were imposed by the traditional differential equation approach. Unique in its emphasis on modeling and computer simulation,...

With the recent explosion of interest into the development of both computer graphics and the Java programming language, there emerged a need for a student-oriented textbook that covered both of these fields. Whilst many of the textbooks within this field give an in-depth treatment of graphics theory, Computer Graphics with Java instead seeks to provide the reader with a concise survey of the more interesting graphical features ( both 2 and 3-dimensional ) that are currently available in Java and Java 3D.
The book assumes both a familiarity with the Java programming language and a...
