Publisher's Synopsis
This text discusses mathematical modelling, analysis and control of the immune system and disease dynamics. The purpose of the book is the practical application of mathematics to immunology and medicine in order to establish a basis for more effective treatment, to provide a tutorial systematic description of how the immune system controls diseases and to present several significant examples such as malignant tumour dynamics and control, and viral hepatitis.;The book is multidisciplinary in content, with the intended readers including biomathematicians, biologists and physicists. It combines immunological principles, mathematical models, computer simulations and methods of analysis.
