What is Biomathematics? It is the use of mathematical models to help understand phenomena in biology. Term was coined by William Moses feldman. It has been used in areas such as cellular neurobiology, epidemic modeling and population genetics.

Visual System The electrical firing rate of your visual system neurons changes with stimulus angle!
Each neuron can be modeled. Ions move across membrane Voltage V changes in time.
Ischmic Wound The wounds which occur due to reduced blood flow. Mathematical models of angiogenic networks Were developed by Mcdougall and coworkers in connection with chemotherapeutic strategies
Enzyme kinetics Enzyme kinetics is the study of chemical reactions that are catalyzed by enzyme. It provides information about the diverse range of reactions in the human body. Michaelis Menton equation
Conclusion There will be more math in biology and medicine in your lifetime. Unlike other science the math models are being discovered right now
