Mathematical and Computational Biology: Computational Morphogenesis, Hierarchical Complexity, and Digital Evolution

by Chrystopher L. Nehaniv, International Workshop on Mathematical &

Discussion topics of 13 lectures from the October 1997 workshop include mathematical approaches for addressing evolutionary problems such as replication and multicellularity, the theoretical tools for rigorously developing these questions, software systems, and applications. Of special concern are self-replication, the evolution of individuality, symbiogenesis, evolutionary developmental biology, interaction dynamics within evolving populations, the evolution and maintenance of sex, and properties of the digital genetic code.
