Writer Alex Bellos described The Mathematics of Life as "a testament to the versatility of maths and how it is shaping our understanding of the world." [4] Kirkus Reviews called the book "an ingenious overview of biology with emphasis on mathematical ideas—stimulating but requiring careful reading despite the lack of equations."
Mathematical and theoretical biology, or biomathematics, is a branch of biology which employs theoretical analysis, mathematical models and abstractions of living organisms to investigate the principles that govern the structure, development and behavior of the systems, as opposed to experimental biology which deals with the conduction of ...
Allen is the author of three books: An Introduction to Stochastic Processes with Applications to Biology (Pearson, 2003; 2nd ed., 2011) [6] An Introduction to Mathematical Biology (Prentice Hall, 2007) [7] Stochastic Population and Epidemic Models: Persistence and Extinction (Springer, 2015).
Quantum biology is an emerging field, in the sense that most current research is theoretical and subject to questions that require further experimentation.
Brian Goodwin in 1992. Brian Carey Goodwin (25 March 1931 – 15 July 2009) (Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue, Quebec, Canada - Dartington, Totnes, Devon, UK) was a Canadian mathematician and biologist, a Professor Emeritus at the Open University and a founder of theoretical biology and biomathematics.
In 1920 Lotka extended the model, via Andrey Kolmogorov, to "organic systems" using a plant species and a herbivorous animal species as an example [16] and in 1925 he used the equations to analyse predator–prey interactions in his book on biomathematics. [17]

Modelling biological systems is a significant task of systems biology and mathematical biology. [a] Computational systems biology [b] [1] aims to develop and use efficient algorithms, data structures, visualization and communication tools with the goal of computer modelling of biological systems.
