( Mathematical biology)
Mathematical biology, biological mathematical modeling or biomathematics is an interdisciplinary field of academic study which aims at modeling natural, biological processes using applied mathematical techniques and tools. It has both practical and theoretical applications in biological research In cell biology protein interactions are typically expressed as a “cartoon” models, which, although easy to visualize, do not fully describe the systems studied to do this mathematical models are required, which, by describing the systems in a quantitative manner, can better simulate their behavior and hence predict unseen properties. Applying mathematics to biology has a long history, but only recently has there been an explosion of interest in the field. Some reasons for this include Below is a list of some areas of research in mathematical biology and links to related projects in various universities. These examples are characterised by complex, nonlinear mechanisms and it is being increasingly recognised that the result of such interactions may only be understood through mathematical and computational models. Due to the wide diversity of specific knowledge involved, biomathematical research is often done in collaboration between mathematicians, physicists, biologists, physicians, zoologists, chemists etc. This area has received a boost due to the growing importance of molecular biology.
