Mathematical Biology: what
is it?
Modelling life. Biology is the science of life.
Mathematical biology transforms the processes of
living systems into model systems of equations.
Analysing these models with mathematical or
computational techniques can help us to understand
the roles and interactions of different components
of the system. These relationships are often
complex and surprising! We can also use models to
make predictions about how systems will respond to
enforced change and conduct experiments
impractical or impossible in the laboratory or
field. Mathematical biology spans all areas of the
life sciences, from moleculer biochemistry to
ecosystems. Here in Bath our expertise is in
population dynamics, including human and wildlife
epidemiology, ecology and evolution. You can find
out more about mathematical biology here.
Bath Centre for Mathematical
Biology
The Centre was set up in 1994 to facilitate and
encourage collaboration between mathematicians,
biologists and other scientists interested in
interdisciplinary research at the University of
Bath. Its membership
includes about twenty permanent academic staff,
their postdoctoral researchers and postgraduate
students.
