	Mathematical biology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Mathematical biology or biomathematics is an interdisciplinary field of academic study which aims at modelling natural, biological processes using mathematical techniques and tools.
		Applying mathematics to biology has a long history, but only recently has there been an explosion of interest in the field.

	MATHEMATICS AND BIOLOGY-Executive Summary
		For example, whereas population genetics and evolutionary biology were fields historically concerned largely with inferring process from pattern, the explosion of knowledge and the cellular and molecular levels have permitted complementation of that approach with that in which one begins from knowledge of processes at the micro level.
		Mathematical approaches allow the use of genetic data to analyze multi-locus traits, which are so important, for example, to plant breeding, and have made possible a much more quantitative approach to such issues.
		Mathematics is the "lens through which to view the universe" and serves to identify the important details of the biological data and suggest the next series of experiments.

	Conservation Ecology: The Mathematical Biology of Human Infections (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Mathematical models of HIV infection have led to the idea that disease progression may be a consequence of virus evolution during individual infections.
		Mathematical models show that the main problem of resistance is whether or not resistant virus mutants are present in a patient prior to treatment.
		Finally, mathematical models of the complex interaction between replicating infectious agents and the immune system will allow immunologists to employ more quantitative approaches to their data, such as in the measurement of turnover rates and the exact abundances of certain immune cell types.

	LMS/EPSRC Short Course on Mathematical Biology
		Many mathematics departments in the UK now offer courses in Mathematical Biology but typically the syllabi of these courses only cover a small subset of the entire field, reflecting the research interests within each department.
		The aim of this course is to provide first and second year mathematics PhD students with an overview of four main research areas in Mathematical Biology.
		Following this, four problems in the area of physiological fluid mechanics will be studied in greater detail: (i) pulse wave propagation and flow patterns in the arteries; (ii) collapsible tube models for blood flow in the veins; (iii) flow patterns in the lung; Taylor dispersion; (iv) airway closure; surface-tension-driven instabilities of the lung's liquid lining.

		Mathematical and computational components are vital to many areas of contemporary biological research, such as genomics, molecular modeling, structural biology, ecology, evolutionary biology, and systems analysis of neurobiology, physiology, and metabolism.
		Students interested in the interface between biology and mathematics may pursue the Mathematical Biology Major, which is jointly administered by the Biology and Mathematics Departments.
		Students who choose this major become immersed in the scientific and intellectual cultures of both biology and mathematics, and the major is sufficiently flexible to allow students to concentrate in a particular area of mathematical biology.
