Mathematical models can be useful to developmental biologists, in particular in helping to bridge the gap in understanding between proposed molecular interactions inside and between cells and their ...

Baez called for the development of new mathematics — he called it “green” math — to better capture the workings of Earth’s biosphere and climate. For his part, he sought to apply category theory, a ...

Historically, mathematical models in ecology have been used largely to provide qualitative explanations for patterns in nature. A classic example of this approach was the effort to use competition ...
