Sinossi

Many areas of today's scientific inquiry, as well as many technological developments, depend on the collaboration of physicists, chemists, mathematicians, engineers, biologists, and physicians. This volume demonstrates the value of pooling together the resources of these disciplines and provides a synthesis of theoretical and empirical knowledge, encouraging interaction between traditional "soft" and "hard" sciences.
