Sommario/riassunto

Human health risk assessment involves the measuring of risk of exposure to disease, with a view to improving disease prevention. Mathematical, biological, statistical, and computational methods play a key role in exposure assessment, hazard assessment and identification, and dose-response modelling. Recent Advances in Quantitative Methods in Cancer and Human Health Risk Assessment is a comprehensive text that accounts for the wealth of new biological data as well as new biological, toxicological, and medical approaches adopted in risk assessment. It provides an authoritative compendiu

Sommario/riassunto

日々の現象は応用解析の宝庫!応用数学には多様な課題があり、つきない問題が人々を魅了している。その中でも、非線形力学の諸問題は数学・物理学・工学の融合する場であり、数学、特に解析学の応用には格好の材料である。本書は、主として日常現象に見られる非線形力学現象を数学の立場から解説し、その面白さを理解することを目的とする。応用数学では計算機実験が不可欠となっており、本書では具体的な計算例を多数用意した。.
