This book discusses the application of the concepts of fractals and
chaos to biomedical phenomena. In particular, it argues against the
outdated notion of homeostasis; using biomedical data sets and
modern mathematical concepts, the author attempts to convince the
reader that life is at least a homeodynamic process with multiple
states - each being capable of survival. Although relying heavily
on the new mathematical ideas, the author has attempted to make the
book self-contained. The mathematics is developed in a biological
context and mathematical formulation for its own sake is avoided.
In this book, the phenomena to be explained motivate the
mathematical development rather than the other way round.
