Essential for all biology and biomathematics courses, this textbook provides students with a fresh perspective of quantitative techniques in biology in a field where virtually any advance in the life sciences requires a sophisticated mathematical approach. An Invitation to Biomathematics, expertly written by a team of experienced educators, offers students a solid understanding of solving biological problems with mathematical applications. This text succeeds in enabling students to truly experience advancements made in biology through mathematical models by containing computer-based hands-on laboratory projects with emphasis on model development, model validation, and model refinement. The supplementary work, Laboratory Manual of Biomathematics is available separately ISBN 0123740223, or as a set ISBN: 0123740290)

A wide-ranging discussion of the interrelations of mental structures, natural language and formal systems. It explores how the mind builds language, how language in turn builds the mind, and how theorists and researcheres in artificial intelligence are attempting to simulate such processes. It also considers for the first time how the interests and theoretical strategies of poststructuralists such as Jacques Derrida are dovetailing in many ways with those of artificial intelligence workers. Johnson uses the catastrophe theory of Rene Thom to describe the evolution of both human and machine language. Encompassing theories and research concerned with the evolution of language, language acquisition, sign systems, information processing, machine translation and other subjects relevant to the machine modelling of human language, this book attempts to synthesize insights from many disciplines, proposes a larger cognitive science, and points toward a new natural-language paradigm.
