Numerical methods and mathematical modelling in biology,medicine and social sciences

摘要

It is with pleasure that we offer the readers of the International Journal of Computer Mathematics this special issue consisting of some of the most significant contributions to computational methods and mathematical modelling with applications in biology, medicine and social sciences presented at the International Conference on Mathematical Modelling in Engineering & Human Behaviour 2012, held at the Institute Universitario de Matematica, Multidisciplinar, Polytechnic City of Innovation in Valencia, Spain, September 4-7, 2012, cf. Since its founding the International Conference on Mathematical Modelling in Engineering & Human Behaviour has been a truly multi-disciplinary conference, covering all aspects of applied mathematics in a very broad field of areas of science and engineering with its increasing level of complexity. The aim of this conference series is to encourage cross-fertilization between different disciplines and to gain new insights into the emerging research trends in mathematical modelling and engineering methods.
