This book is dedicated to my family: Cindy, Nathaniel, Zachary, Sybil, Teresa, Eric, and Josh.

The material in this book draws from undergraduate and graduate coursework taken while I was a student at Caltech, and from further graduate coursework and studies at Oxford, University of Wisconsin, and University of California, Santa Cruz. The material also draws upon my teaching experience and research efforts while a tenured professor of computer science at the University of New Orleans and jointly appointed as principal investigator and director of a protein channel biosensor lab at the Research Institute for Children at Children’s Hospital in New Orleans.

Informatics provides new avenues of understanding and inquiry in any medium that can be captured in digital form. Areas as diverse as text analysis, signal analysis, and genome analysis, to name a few, can be studied with informatics tools. Computationally powered informatics tools are having a phenomenal impact in many fields, including engineering, nanotechnology, and the biological sciences (ssss1).
