James D. Murray

James Dickson Murray (* 2. Januar 1931 in Moffat, Schottland) ist emeritierter Professor für angewandte Mathematik an der University of Washington und der University of Oxford. Professor Murrays Forschungsschwerpunkte liegen in der theoretischen Biologie und hier hauptsächlich in der mathematischen Modellierung ökologischer, medizinischer und psychologischer Zusammenhänge. Professor Murray hat nicht zuletzt durch sein maßgebliches Werk "Mathematical Biology" Bekanntheit erreicht.
