Mathematical Analysis in Neuroscience
Many students avoid mathematics like the plague. Still, many students need to understand the underlying mathematics behind complex neuroscience concepts in order to fully understand how the brain works. For those students, we have included this section on Mathematical Analysis in Neuroscience.
