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 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 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 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 ...

A novel mathematical approach has uncovered that some animal cells have robust 12-hour cycles of genetic activity, in addition to circadian or 24-hour cycles. A novel mathematical approach has ...

Milwaukee | Mathematics has solved problems in nature for centuries. The ancient Egyptians used geometry to survey their landscape. Isaac Newton developed calculus while describing planetary motion.

Mathematics can help explain and predict the breakdowns of the body’s system occurring due to dysregulation of its homeostasis. Despite the variation in temperature around us like hot or cold, our ...

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 ...
