For most of the 20th century, mathematics was seen as a close and natural partner of physics and engineering. Secondary and postsecondary mathematics educators channeled the mainstream of their ...

Ever better experimental techniques allow us to perform experiments under tightly controlled conditions and can deliver gigantic amounts of data reflecting the complexity of biology. This has vastly ...

Mathematical models have become an integral part of cancer biology. They are useful tools for deriving a mechanistic understanding of dynamic processes in cancer. The somatic evolutionary process, ...

As mathematics continues to become an increasingly important component in undergraduate biology programs, a more comprehensive understanding of the use of algebraic models is needed by the next ...

The National Science Foundation and the Simons Foundation have awarded a grant to Harvard scientists for the creation of a new research center aimed at bringing biologists and mathematicians together ...

Welcome to the University of Sheffield's Mathematical and Statistical Modelling cluster. The cluster consists of researchers working in the areas of probability, statistics, mathematical biology, and ...

Cancer therapy and synthetic biology are converging around a shared problem that has long frustrated oncologists and ...

This ScienceLives article was provided to LiveScience in partnership with the National Science Foundation. Not everything we wish to know in biology can be measured directly, either because doing so ...

Mathematical modeling has been successfully used in myriad applications, from predicting the weather to understanding behavior. Scientists have now proposed a mathematical model for human biology.

Computer scientists are looking to evolutionary biology for inspiration in the search for optimal solutions among astronomically huge sets of possibilities. Creationists love to insist that evolution ...
