On Growth and Form Spatio–temporal Pattern Formation in Biology M. A. J. Chaplain and G. D. Singh, both of the University of Dundee, UK J. C. McLachlan, St. Andrews University, UK Spatio–temporal pattern formation is a major area of research within the subject of mathematical biology. The topic involves the use of mathematical modelling to analyse how patterns in biology are created and develop. For example, the growth, over time, of the intricate and beautiful patterns on certain sea–shells or the striped markings on a tiger can be modelled and their development predicted in terms of non–linear mathematical processes. The current volume captures the breadth of recent research into various aspects of spatio–temporal pattern and form, such as development biology, reaction–diffusion systems and morphometrics. ? Brings the ideas of the classic On Growth and Form by D?Arcy Thompson, the founding classicof mathematical biology, fully up to date and looks to future developments in the...
