-In the most literal interpretation of the term, <b>biological mathematics</b> refers to mathematics of a biological nature &mdash; i.e., mathematics embedded in or originating from biological systems &mdash; hence its application to the emerging subdiscipline of mathematics that explores and exploits the use of biological systems to perform mathematical/computational operations and achieve solutions to mathematical/computational problems &mdash; e.g., computing with DNA molecules<ref>Kari L, Landweber LF. (2000) Computing with DNA. ''Methods Mol.Biol.'' 132:413-430.</ref> &mdash; and that studies mathematics as it occurs in biological and living systems. <ref>Bray D.
