Reviews
From the reviews:
"In this book the author makes an ‘effort to render both mathematical equations and biology to numbers’. … he works out a lot of illustrative examples to make biologists understand the mathematics and computational scientists understand the biology of a wide range of problems in bioinformatics. … The book is addressed to graduate students majoring in sciences and software engineering. Biologists with a sound knowledge of computer programming should be able to implement the presented algorithms in their own programs." (Wiebke Werft, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1166, 2009)
