Biomathematics

Biomathematics is a way of using math to understand how living things work. It's like putting numbers and equations to things you see in the world of biology, like plants and animals. Scientists use it to do things like figure out how long it takes for a particular type of plant to grow, or how many calories a certain kind of animal needs every day. It can also help scientists create new medicines that can help with diseases.
