Watch Brady's sixtysymbols videos about the Schrodinger Wave equation. The number √-1=±i can be used to calculate the wave function, which is itself the square root of the probability of finding a particle at a given point in space. In short, i can be used to calculate literally everything, given the right input information.
Ha! Taking a page from Ernest Rutherford I guess ("All science is either physics or stamp collecting"). Doing excellent biology is the same as doing excellent physics, though. Both are of course hard sciences but they require different skillsets.
NO KIDDING!!!!! Being as almost every aspect of nature can be quantified and analyzed through mathematics. Why should the human body be any different. AMEN PEOPLE!!!!!
I am at a loss to figure out what are the problems faced by biologists which need mathematical approach? What mathematical tools are employed to solve these biological problems. I remember reading Robert May used simple algebraic equations to study biological problem resulting in chaos theory as published in 1976.My question is how mathematicians can help to figure out how disease spread like tumour and cancer in humans as microbiolosts and chemists seem to have spent more than 25 years to find cure with no light in sight except more fund for their research and if maths can help with their expertise.
I prefer to call human body as a biological super system. Systems are about 11 in all. Sub systems are organs made up of various cells ,cells made up of molecules (chemistry) made up of atoms( physics) .Mathematics is the language of physics. That means mathematicians should have been at the forefront of solving boological problems.
What do you mean? They should talk and collaborate and go to lots of conferences and eat together? They do that lots. You can argue a point that today more than ever blah blah blah we need cross discipline collaboration and scientists with backgrounds in multiple areas of study but that stuff is becoming more of a thing as it becomes more necessary. Or are you arguing that scientists should keep doing what they are doing because that is what they need to do? I think is a very valid point. too :P
That definition of a line and parallel lines is true in non-Euclidean geometries such as on the surface of a sphere or, I believe, in the Poincaré Half-Plane. In such geometries, two parallel lines CAN go through the same point! :D Pretty sweet.
It's always about maths. Always and everywhere we look. In my opinion biology and maths are the two most important natural sciences. Biology, because what it describes us, the whole world, in a nutshell, and because maths actually are the world.
Gah, that music is so *aggravating*! I couldn't stand watching the whole video. And the content? Pfft. To tag this as "Science & Technology" is a travesty.
It would be great if they spent any time describing the problems and mathematics at work...
I am considering chasing a course in mathematical biology as a part of my biotechnology degree
Hi Emily,
If you have time, I would also like to hear you elaborate on the meaning of the sqrt operation.
This is wonderful. Great to see interdisciplinary approaches to problems in biology and medicine!
Physics means discribing the world using math. And biology is applied chemistry and physics... So I think this collaboration will work very well.

Are videos of actual sessions available from this gathering ?

Well, to be fair, Schrodinger was trying to say exactly that with the thought experiment. Of course, it kinda backfired on him.
But I agree with you.

I'm studying Biology and I'll probably have to hire mathematicians later :D
@DrD0000M
2+2=2 right?
that board looked very confusing :S loads of calcalus involved. Liked the Biology aspect!!
@abzsskola physics is the application of mathematics.

They did.
It took five days. :P
This video makes one wonder what other kind of unities we can have.
Chocolate microscopes?
Love,

I'm daft enough to be hugely impressed!
This video pumps me up for what I could potentially accomplish for mankind, gotta work hard if you wanna play hard
"Socialise and start networking"... Sounds like hell. =S
Just what I was thinking ... well said
this is great, science + maths ftw imo .. though i'd say they are pretty much one of the same
And guess what Physics is in a nutshell....that's right mathematics.

no biology doesn't meets math but physics does

I'm guessing you aren't a biologist. :)
@DrD0000M I don't get it lol
1:19 its hitchens!!!
Bio and Math!
I was thinking that.
wow, very interesting

I will send you a pm, since it's not really relevant to the video.
whos waching 2017?
The terrible "inspirational" "music" is ruining this video.
I don't want to socialise and start networking! I want to solve mathematical problems!
