Mathematics for Neuroscientists

by Fabrizio Gabbiani, Steven James Cox

Mathematics for Neuroscientists, Second Edition, presents a comprehensive introduction to mathematical and computational methods used in neuroscience to describe and model neural components of the brain from ion channels to single neurons, neural networks and their relation to behavior. The book contains more than 200 figures generated using Matlab code available to the student and scholar. Mathematical concepts are introduced hand in hand with neuroscience, emphasizing the connection between experimental results and theory.

After the first three chapters it quickly becomes very stale—too much work is skipped or unexplained. Some reviews have mentioned that it’s not suitable for readers with a mathematics background; I can confirm it’s equally unsuitable for those with a neuroscience background.
