Why BioMath? Why Now?

The rationale for and the opportunities to bring the biologymathematics interface into the high schools are explored through examples from the author’s career. Among topics considered are (1) epidemiological modeling, (2) biology as information science, (3) physical mapping of DNA, (4) DNA and RNA chains and the “RNA detective game,” (5) systems biology, (6) graph-theoretical models of the spre...

Toward Integration: From Quantitative Biology to Mathbio-Biomath?

In response to the call of BIO2010 for integrating quantitative skills into undergraduate biology education, 30 Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) Program Directors at the 2006 HHMI Program Directors Meeting established a consortium to investigate, implement, develop, and disseminate best practices resulting from the integration of math and biology. With the assistance of an HHMI-funded min...

UTMS 2012 – 16 November 14 , 2012

We establish an isoperimetric inequality with constraint by ndimensional lattices. We prove that, among all domains which consist of rectangular parallelepipeds with the common side-lengths, a cube is the best shape to minimize the ratio involving its perimeter and volume as long as the cube is realizable by the lattice. For its proof a solvability of finite difference PoissonNeumann problems i...
