The work provides a pedagogical account of analytical methods for finding traveling wave solutions of the variety of nonlinear differential equations that arise in such models. These include regular and singular perturbation methods, weakly nonlinear analysis, Evans functions and wave stability, homogenization theory and averaging, and stochastic processes. Also covered in the text are exact methods of solution where applicable. Historically speaking, the propagation of action potentials has inspired new mathematics, particularly with regard to the PDE theory of waves in excitable media. More recently, continuum neural field models of large-scale brain networks have generated a new set of interesting mathematical questions with regard to the solution of nonlocal integro-differential equations.  Advanced graduates, postdoctoral researchers and faculty working in mathematical biology, theoretical neuroscience, or applied nonlinear dynamics will find this book to be a valuable resource. The main prerequisites are an introductory graduate course on ordinary differential equations and partial differential equations, making this an accessible and unique contribution to the field of mathematical biology. . 410 0$aLecture notes on mathematical modelling in the life sciences. 606 $aNeural networks (Neurobiology) 615 0$aNeural networks (Neurobiology) 676 $a006.3 676 $a006.32 700 $aBressloff$b Paul C$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0721730 801 0$bMiFhGG 801 1$bMiFhGG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299962103321 996 $aWaves in neural media$91410729 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03790nam 2200805 a 450 001 9910962566803321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a9786612751721 010 $a9781400802128 010 $a1400802121 010 $a9781400811540 010 $a1400811546 010 $a9781282751729 010 $a1282751727 010 $a9781400820955 010 $a1400820952 024 7 $a10.1515/9781400820955 035 $a(CKB)1000000000713366 035 $a(EBL)668949 035 $a(OCoLC)707068793 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000204355 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12075028 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000204355 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10196090 035 $a(PQKB)10733968 035 $a(OCoLC)179096962 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)muse35953 035 $a(DE-B1597)446077 035 $a(OCoLC)979905001 035 $a(OCoLC)984687741 035 $a(DE-B1597)9781400820955 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL668949 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10035862 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL275172 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC668949 035 $a(PPN)187308780 035 $a(Perlego)733891 035 $a(FR-PaCSA)45003437 035 $a(FRCYB45003437)45003437 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000713366 100 $a19930324d1993 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aModern Greek lessons $ea primer in historical constructivism /$fJames D.

Drawing inspiration from Athens and its cultural elite, Faubion explores the meaning of modernity, finding it not in the singular character of "Western civilization" but instead in an increasingly diverse family of practices of reform. 410 0$aPrinceton studies in culture/power/history. 607 $aAthens (Greece)$xCivilization 676 $a949.5/12 700 $aFaubion$b James D.$f1957-$01622291 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910962566803321 996 $aModern Greek lessons$94341589 997 $aUNINA
