Biological mathematics [r]: The subdiscipline of biology that explores and exploits the use of biological systems to perform mathematical/computational operations and achieve solutions to mathematical/computational problems — in particular, DNA computing. [e]
This article contains just a definition and optionally other subpages (such as a list of related articles), but no metadata. Create the metadata page if you want to expand this into a full article.
In the most literal interpretation of the term, biological mathematics refers to biology of a mathematical nature — in particular, biological systems that imbed mathematical operations — hence, its application to the emerging subdiscipline of biology that explores and exploits the use of biological systems to perform mathematical/computational operations and achieve solutions to mathematical/computational problems — for example, computing with DNA molecules[1] — and that studies the natural occurrence of computational processes in biological and living systems.
