Herein we seek to communicate the excitement being experienced by scientists upon making application of these concepts within the life sciences. Mathematical concepts are introduced using biomedical data sets and the phenomena being explained take precedence over the mathematics.In this new edition what has withstood the test of time has been updated and modernized; speculations that were not borne out have been expunged and the breakthroughs 410 0$aStudies of nonlinear phenomena in life sciences ;$vv. 16. 606 $aChaotic behavior in systems 606 $aFractals 606 $aMedicine$xMathematical models 606 $aPhysiology$xMathematical models 615 0$aChaotic behavior in systems. 615 0$aFractals. 615 0$aMedicine$xMathematical models. 615 0$aPhysiology$xMathematical models. 676 $a610.151539 676 $a612.0154 676 $a612/.0154 700 $aWest$b Bruce J$048667 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792055203321 996 $aFractal physiology and chaos in medicine$93817964 997 $aUNINA
