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 ...

On an August morning in a Northwestern developmental biology lab, a team of researchers casts its collective eyes on thousands of roundworms culled from sites around the globe. Using robotics to scan ...

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 ...

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 ...

Beginning next fall, the University will host a new program — titled "Interfaces in Science" — to train physical and mathematical science graduate students in the interdisciplinary field of biological ...

Linton first came to BYU as a mechanical engineering major, but discovered his love for biology after taking anatomy and ...
