MATHEMATICS AND BIOLOGY

During the course of a typical human life, the heart beats about 2 billion times. Yet, in spite of the obvious reliability of the heart, nearly half of the deaths in the United States are due to the failure of the heart to beat properly. Mathematics is at the "heart" of trying to understand how the heart beats and why it fails to beat properly. To follow what individual cells do requires tracking how ions move and how voltages change. To determine how cells communicate to each other requires a description of currents between cells. To follow how a signal propagates requires a description of the geometry of the medium, the orientation of fibers, the thickness of walls, etc. And all of these descriptions use the language of mathematics…

MATHEMATICS AND THE GENOME

The NIH can wage an effective war on disease only if we--as a nation and a scientific community, not just as a single agency--harness the energies of many disciplines, not just biology and medicine. These allied disciplines range from mathematics, engineering and computer sciences to sociology, anthropology and behavioral sciences, as well as chemistry and physics. Biology is rapidly becoming a science that demands more intense mathematical and physical analysis than biologists have been accustomed to using. For example such analysis will be required to understand the workings of cell signaling systems. In the last twenty years, molecular and cell biologists have moved much closer to the "radical physical explanation" of cell behavior that the physicist Max Delbruck called for in 1949. I take this opportunity of Math Awareness Month 2002 to encourage young people with skills in these needed quantitative and physical fields to join us in working collaboratively towards Delbruck's "radical physical explanation" for biological systems.
