Review of previous edition: “I am often asked by physicists, mathematicians and engineers to recommend a book that would be useful to get them started in computational molecular biology. I am also often approached by my colleagues in computational biology to recommend a solid textbook for a graduate course in the area. Tamar Schlick has written the book that I will be recommending to both groups. Tamar has done an amazing job in writing a book that is both suitably accessible for beginners, and suitably rigorous for experts.” J. J. Collins, Boston University, USA. “Molecular modeling … is now an important branch of modern biochemistry. … Schlick has brought her unique interdisciplinary expertise to the subject. … One of the most distinguished characteristics of the book is that it makes the reading really fun … and the material accessible. … a crystal clear logical presentation … . Schlick has added a unique title to the collection of mathematical biology textbooks … . a valuable introduction to the field of computational molecular modeling. It is a unique textbook … .” Hong Qian, SIAM Review, 2005.
Very broad overview of the field intended for an interdisciplinary audience; Lively discussion of current challenges written in a colloquial style; Author is a rising star in this discipline; Suitably accessible for beginners and suitably rigorous for experts; Features extensive four-color illustrations; Appendices featuring homework assignments and reading lists complement the material in the main text
