Seven Equations of Life

Meer over het boek

The book explores the idea that the complexity of biological systems can be understood through a few fundamental mathematical relationships rather than advanced mathematics. It emphasizes concepts like nonlinearity, self-similarity, and feedback, demonstrating how simple origins can lead to complex behaviors. By focusing on the interactions between matter, energy, and information, it argues that life is an emergent property of these systems. The text illustrates these principles through seven key equations, making biomathematics accessible and insightful for biologists.
