This book presents the most recent mathematical approaches to the growing research area of networks, oscillations, and collective motions in the context of biological systems. Bringing together the results of multiple studies of different biological systems, this book sheds light on the relations among these research themes. Included in this book are the following topics: feedback systems with time delay and threshold of sensing (dead zone), robustness of biological networks from the point of view of dynamical systems, the hardware-oriented neuron modeling approach, a universal mechanism...

This book introduces a wide variety of mathematical methods, such as signal processing, systems identification, and stochastic differential equations, to an undergraduate audience interested in biological dynamics. Includes exercises and examples.
