Neural Networks as Cybernetic Systems

This book on biological cybernetics combines system theory and artificial neural networks. Following a 'holistic' approach, the book examines the role of simulation in biology. Mainly addressed to students of Biology, the book tries to avoid the use of mathematical formula as far as possible. Exercises can be performed with a related software tool (tkCybernetics) for part 1 as well as with educational simulation on neural networks for part two (in prepration.)
