<p>“This book is structured in three chapters covering
the ODE modeling for the identification and characterization of biological
networks, the handling of numerical simulations for the proposed ODE models and
the corresponding parameters identification, respectively. … included a list of
numerical algorithms and software packages that facilitate the understanding of
the ODE-related problems. … written in an accessible manner, with plenty of
examples, making it a valuable addition to the series of textbooks in computational
science and engineering.” (Irina Ioana Mohorianu, zbMATH, Vol. 1325.92001, 2016)</p><p>“It focuses almost solely on the mundane
mathematical topic of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and their
parameter estimation … . the prime readership for this volume is to be found
more amongst advanced researchers in systems biology trying to find reasons for
unstable results of some ODE simulation or identification packages.” (L.-F. Pau,
Computing Reviews, November, 2015)</p>

This book is intended for students of computational systems biology with only a limited background in mathematics. Typical books on systems biology merely mention algorithmic approaches, but without offering a deeper understanding. On the other hand, mathematical books are typically unreadable for computational biologists. The authors of the present book have worked hard to fill this gap. The result is not a book on systems biology, but on computational methods in systems biology. This book originated from courses taught by the authors at Freie Universität Berlin. The guiding idea of the courses was to convey those mathematical insights that are indispensable for systems biology, teaching the necessary mathematical prerequisites by means of many illustrative examples and without any theorems. The three chapters cover the mathematical modelling of biochemical and physiological processes, numerical simulation of the dynamics of biological networks and identification of model parameters by means of comparisons with real data. Throughout the text, the strengths and weaknesses of numerical algorithms with respect to various systems biological issues are discussed. Web addresses for downloading the corresponding software are also included.
