Abstract
This paper provides two new applications of conservation laws in biology. The first is the application of the van der Waals fluid formalism for action potentials. The second is the application of the conservation laws of differential geometry (Gauss–Codazzi equations) to produce non-smooth surfaces representing Endoplasmic Reticulum sheets.
期刊介绍:
The Quarterly of Applied Mathematics contains original papers in applied mathematics which have a close connection with applications. An author index appears in the last issue of each volume.
This journal, published quarterly by Brown University with articles electronically published individually before appearing in an issue, is distributed by the American Mathematical Society (AMS). In order to take advantage of some features offered for this journal, users will occasionally be linked to pages on the AMS website.
