Description
A foundational work in theoretical biology, this volume develops mathematical methods for understanding the organization and behavior of living systems. N. Rashevsky examines biological phenomena through the principles of physics and applied mathematics, exploring how formal models can illuminate processes at cellular, physiological, and organismal levels. Emphasizing structure, function, and the search for general laws of life, the book reflects the ambitious interdisciplinary spirit that helped establish mathematical biophysics as a field. It remains valuable for readers interested in the history, concepts, and analytical tools of quantitative biology.
