"This resource does an admirable job of bringing the readers to a level where they can pursue more advanced study and research." (IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Magazine, January/February 2008)

"This rapid survey of a developing field is ideal for beginning graduate students…" (CHOICE, December 2005)

"This is a timely volume that should be welcomed both by practising systems biologists and by newcomers to the field.... I expect to consult it regularly over the foreseeable future, and I am confident that biologists everywhere will benefit from having a copy to hand." (Theoretical Biology and Medical Modelling)

"The authors manage to cover an astoundingly wide range of topics and to present the great potential of systems biology to the reader. The first introductory part makes it an ideal book for researchers from neighbouring disciplines, who benefit from the compact and clearly written basics in biology and mathematics. But the main area of application will be as textbook for the growing number of students interested in bioinformatics, systems biology and theoretical biology. With its 14 chapters, 450 pages and many diagrams and examples it provides plenty of material for lecturing." (Arzneimittel-Forschung/Drug Research)
