Cellular life is based on the complex networks formed by various molecules and components. Systems biology attempts to explore the mystery of life from a system viewpoint by integrating experiments and theoretic computations. The content of Introduction to Systems Biology includes: introduction to physics, chemistry and mathematics related to biological systems, reconstruction of biological molecular networks, quality evaluation of biological molecular networks, topological analysis of biological molecular networks, biological network motifs and modules, evolution of biological molecular networks, robustness of biological molecular networks, dynamics of biological molecular networks.

生物,又称为生命科学,是自然科学的一大门类,是系统地阐述与自然生命特性有关的重大课题的科学,支配着无生命世界的物理和化学定律同样也适用于生命世界,无须赋予生活物质一种神秘的活力。生命科学由经验主义出发,广泛研究生命的所有方面,包括生命起源、演化、分布、构造、发育、功能、行为、与环境的互动关系,以及生物分类学等。
