In the latter decades, biomathematics played an important role in life sciences. Today, a great variety of biomathematical methods are applied in biology and medicine. Practically every mathematical procedure that is useful in physics, chemistry, engineering, and economics has also found an important application in the life sciences. At present, many life scientists are really interested in going deeply into biomathematics. Any attempt to apply biomathematics to the life systems involves three stages. Firstly, we observe the phenomena and formulate a biomathematical description in the form of a differential equation, algebraic equation, statistic comparison or whatever. We then temporarily forget the real life system and use biomathematical reasoning to solve the equation. This stage may involve inventing new biomathematics or extending what exists. Finally, we return to the real life system and interpret this solution in terms of reality; this interpretation may require experimental testing. Commonly, the most difficult stage is the first one; this is certainly so in biology and medicine at present we hardly know enough about the “laws” governing the components of life systems to write down their appropriate relationships with confidence.
