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 ...

Northwestern University and the University of Chicago are partnering to establish a new $50 million center that will apply mathematics to better understand fundamentals of biology. Northwestern ...

The study of biology will increasingly require skill in math, or “a toolbox of diverse mathematical approaches,” according to a new article published in the journal Science. I don’t know if biologists ...

The careful modeling, analysis, and simulation of living systems using the tools of applied mathematics have led to novel biological insights. Our faculty develop mathematical models and perform ...

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 ...

On an August morning in a Northwestern developmental biology lab, a team of researchers casts its collective eyes on thousands of roundworms culled from sites around the globe. Using robotics to scan ...

Biological Mathematics applies mechanistic and quantitative tools to understand life at scales ranging from molecules to ecosystems. Core approaches include differential equations to describe reaction ...

Building a mathematics-based understanding of biology at all scales of life — from individual cells to interactions between species — is the goal of a new $50 million institute supported by the U.S.

A team of scientists, led by a biomedical engineer at The University of Texas at Austin, have demonstrated - for the first time - that mathematical models created from data obtained by DNA microarrays ...

Studies over the entire range of the life sciences--from the molecular level (DNA and proteins) to entire organisms and ecosystems--benefit from insights derived from the mathematical sciences, ...

Skin color patterns in animals arise from microscopic interactions among colored cells that obey equations, say investigators. Researchers report that a lizard acquires its adult skin color by ...

From the clown fish to leopards, skin colour patterns in animals arise from microscopic interactions among coloured cells that obey equations discovered by the mathematician Alan Turing. Today, ...
