Mathematical methods in medicine: neuroscience, cardiology and pathology

Mathematical methods in medicine: neuroscience, cardiology and pathology.

The application of mathematics, natural sciences and engineering to medicine is gaining momentum as the mutual benefits of this collaboration become increasingly obvious. This theme issue is intended to highlight the trend in the case of mathematics. Specifically, the scope of this theme issue is to give a general view of the current research in the application of mathematical methods to medici...

Computational and Mathematical Methods in Medicine

This issue marks a transition and a changing of the guard for Computational and Mathematical Methods in Medicine (CMMM). It is with some nostalgia that we look back on our long and illustrious association with Taylor and Francis; however, at the same time we look to the future with optimism and hope as Hindawi takes the helm and converts CMMM to the community-based, open access model that they ...
