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 ...

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 ...

These days Sneha Mitra, PhD, spends a lot of time thinking about T cells — a type of white blood cell that helps protect the body from infection and cancer. A postdoctoral fellow at the Sloan ...

How can mathematicians help to solve questions about biology? By using mathematical methods to tackle highly complex problems such as stopping a disease outbreak, or predicting the effects of global ...

I just purchased a copy of A Biologist's Guide to Mathematical Modeling in Ecology and Evolution by Sarah P. Otto and Troy Day. My main rationale for getting this book was that I wanted a reference ...

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

For more than a century, the notion that females are innately less capable than males at doing mathematics, especially at the highest levels, has persisted in even the loftiest circles. For more than ...

Knox College in Galesburg recently began work on a $10 million renovation to the Umbeck Science-Mathematics Center, partnering with two regional companies: RATIO Design and Russell, a news release ...
