It maximizes reader understanding of control, optimization, and applications of complex biological systems using neural networks, machine learning, and mathematical modelling.

Mathematical models are more than just equations–they use statistics and data to describe the way a complex system works, and predict how different variables might effect outcomes.

We present a mathematical model exhibiting the empirically observed damping rates in elastic systems. The models studied are of the form (A the relevant elasticity operator) ẍ + Bẋ + Ax = 0 with B ...
