Looking for Books on Mathematical Neurology?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on recommendations for books related to mathematical neurology. One notable suggestion is "The Number Sense: How The Brain Creates Mathematics" by Stanislas Dehaene, a French brain scientist known for his accessible writing. However, the requester seeks books that delve deeper into the mathematical modeling aspects of neurology, indicating a preference for more technical literature in this field. A link to a relevant Amazon search for books on mathematical models in neurology is provided, highlighting the specific interest in this niche area.

If you do mean the connections between mathematics and brain science then the book The Number Sense: How The Brain Creates Mathematics by Stanislas Dehaene is very readable. Dehaene is a French brain scientist in Paris.

The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...
I've gone through the Standard turbulence textbooks such as Pope's Turbulent Flows and Wilcox' Turbulent modelling for CFD which mostly Covers RANS and the closure models. I want to jump more into DNS but most of the work i've been able to come across is too "practical" and not much explanation of the theory behind it. I wonder if there is a book that takes a theoretical approach to Turbulence starting from the full Navier Stokes Equations and developing from there, instead of jumping from...
