Mathematics in medical world

the use of mathematics have revolutionized the medical world . first time mathematics was used by Gregor mendel and since then it's usage is tremendously increased in medical world .Biologists use mathematics to derive quantitative data from any medical study, such as estimating the number of genes that are involved in inheriting a particular trail from the parents to the child.

Today, the concepts and theories of mathematics are being applied to almost all aspects of medical sciences. However, there are some fields of study under medical sciences where mathematics has found greater scope. These fields are clinical research, biotechnology, and genetics.In the study of genetics, the two most important sub sections of mathematics that play a major role are statistics and probability. Through probability, its formula and applications, people working in genetics understand the mechanism of meiosis, forming of egg cells and the sperm, and the process of inheritance, among others. They also get an understanding of how phenotypes and genotypes are related to each other through the study of probability distributions. They also conduct the analysis and study of genetic determinants through the applications of statistics and its methods and principles .
we cannot imagine modern medical science without mathematics . Do you agree with me ?

    yes!! i totally agree with u!! maths also plays an important role in evolution. for example lotka volterra equation related to the interaction between two species. recently biomath is widely used for modelling and identifying free radical transformation. in future the total biological mechanisms will depend on mathematical computations
