Simulating the behavior of a human heart, predicting tomorrow's weather, optimizing the aerodynamics of a sailboat, finding the ideal cooking time for a hamburger: to solve these problems, cardiologists, meteorologists, sportsmen, and engineers can count on math help. This book will lead you to the discovery of a magical world, made up of equations, in which a huge variety of important problems for our life can find useful answers.
This book presents the state of the art in mathematical research on modelling the mechanics of biological systems – a science at the intersection between biology, mechanics and mathematics known as mechanobiology. The book gathers comprehensive surveys of the most significant areas of mechanobiology: cell motility and locomotion by shape control (Antonio DeSimone); models of cell motion and tissue growth (Benoît Perthame); numerical simulation of cardiac electromechanics (Alfio Quarteroni); and power-stroke-driven muscle contraction (Lev Truskinovsky). Each section is self-contained in terms of the biomechanical background, and the content is accessible to all readers with a basic understanding of differential equations and numerical analysis. The book disentangles the phenomenological complexity of the biomechanical problems, while at the same time addressing the mathematical complexity with invaluable clarity. The book is intended for a wide audience, in particular graduate students and applied mathematicians interested in entering this fascinating field.
A systematic presentation of discrete-to-continuum results and methods, offering new perspectives on intrinsically discrete problems.
This book provides a theoretical foundation and conceptual framework for the problem of recovering the phase of the Fourier transform.
Delve into an in-depth description and analysis of quasi-interpolation, starting from various areas of approximation theory.
This book presents selected proceedings from the 22nd biennial IFIP conference on System Modeling and Optimization, held in Turin, Italy in July of 2005. This edition of the conference is dedicated to the achievements of Camillo Possio, who was killed sixty years ago during the last air raid over Turin.

Presents a comprehensive analytical framework for structured population models in spaces of Radon measures and their numerical approximation.
Covid-19 has shown us the importance of mathematical and statistical models to interpret reality, provide forecasts, and explore future scenarios. Algorithms, artificial neural networks, and machine learning help us discover the opportunities and pitfalls of a world governed by mathematics and artificial intelligence.
