In response to an infection (e.g., from pathogens such as bacteria and viruses), the immune system can deplete macrophages (specialized white blood cells) and produce cytokines that are pro-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory.  This counterproductive autoimmune response is represented mathematically as nonlinear chemotaxis diffusion. This book is directed to the computer-based modeling... Read more

Biography

William E. Schiesser is Emeritus McCann Professor of Computational Biomedical Engineering, Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and Professor of Mathematics at Lehigh University. His research is directed toward numerical methods and associated software for ordinary, differential-algebraic and partial differential equations (ODE/DAE/PDEs), and the development of mathematical models based on ODE/DAE/PDEs. He is the author, coauthor or coeditor of 30+ books, and his ODE/DAE/PDE computer routines have been accessed by thousands of colleges and universities, corporations and government agencies.
