Description
Computational thinking is becoming increasingly important in modern biology, as the volume of data produced continues to grow. This book provides an accessible introduction to computational concepts for students in life sciences, focusing on teaching algorithmic and logical thinking.
Topics are presented from a biological perspective, demonstrating how computational approaches can be used to solve problems in biology such as image processing, regulatory networks, and sequence analysis. The book includes a range of pedagogical features to aid understanding, including real-world examples, exercises, and colour-coded Python code.
With its user-friendly approach, Computational Thinking for Life Scientists promotes the thinking skills and self-efficacy required for modern biologists to adopt computational approaches in their research with confidence.
