Mathematical Methods in Medical and Biological Sciences presents mathematical methods for computational models arising in medical and biological sciences. Several real-life medical and biological models such as infectious and non-infectious diseases can be modelled mathematically to accomplish　profound research on them in virtual environments when the cost of laboratory expenses is relatively high. This book focuses on mathematical techniques that provide global solutions for models arising in medical and biological sciences by considering their long-term benefits. The mathematical treatment of these models is　very helpful in understanding these models and their real-world applications. The methods and modelling techniques presented by the authors are useful for mathematicians, engineers, doctors, scientists, and researchers working on the mathematical treatment of models in a wide range of medical and biological sciences. Mathematical Methods in Medical and Biological Sciences presents leading-edge developments　and insights for a range of applications, including epidemiological modeling of pandemic dynamics, viral infection development, cancer development, blood oxygen dynamics, HIV infection spread, reaction-diffusion models, polio infection spread, and chaos modeling with fractional order derivatives. The book provides readers with both the modeling methods and their applications to reinforce learning.
