Abstract

Four classical examples on mathematical modeling in the life-sciences are summarized. These include Turing’s diffusion-reaction systems in morphogenesis, Hodkin’s and Huxley’s model on the initiation and propagation of action potentials in a nerve fibre, first rigorous chemotaxis models, and the mathematical analysis of molecular sequence characteristics.
