The mathematical biophysics of Nicolas Rashevsky
نویسنده
چکیده
N. Rashevsky (1899-1972) was one of the pioneers in the application of mathematics to biology. With the slogan: mathematical biophysics : biology :: mathematical physics ; physics, he proposed the creation of a quantitative theoretical biology. Here, we will give a brief biography, and consider Rashevsky's contributions to mathematical biology including neural nets and relational biology. We conclude that Rashevsky was an important figure in the introduction of quantitative models and methods into biology.

Nicolas Rashevsky’s Mathematical Biophysics
This paper explores the work of Nicolas Rashevsky, a Russian émigré theoretical physicist who developed a program in ‘‘mathematical biophysics’’ at the University of Chicago during the 1930s. Stressing the complexity of many biological phenomena, Rashevsky argued that the methods of theoretical physics – namely mathematics – were needed to ‘‘simplify’’ complex biological processes such as cell ...

The representation of biological systems by means of organismic supercategories, developed in previous papers (Bull. discussed. The different approaches to relational biology, developed by Rashevsky, Rosen and by B~ianu and Marinescu, are compared with Qualitative Dynamics of Systems which was initiated by Henri Poinear~ (1881). On the basis of this comparison some concrete results concerning d...

Synopsis The notion of entropy was first introduced in the 1850's by Rudolf Clausius in the context of thermodynamics. Focusing on the meaning that an increase of entropy means an increase of disorder, dissipation and decay, subsequent generations of authors have imported the notion into practically every area of intellectual discussion. This paper will mention numerous definitions of entropy a...

متن کاملOptimality conditions for multidimensional control problems with polyconvex gradient restrictions
The motivation for a closer investigation of Dieudonné-Rashevsky type problems (P) is two-fold. First, due to its close affinity to the basic problem of multidimensional calculus of variations, the problem (1.3) − (1.5) is well-suited as a model problem in order to ascertain how the proof of optimality conditions is influenced through the weakening of the convexity properties of the data. Since...
