Mathematics in modern immunology

Mathematics in modern immunology.

Mathematical and statistical methods enable multidisciplinary approaches that catalyse discovery. Together with experimental methods, they identify key hypotheses, define measurable observables and reconcile disparate results. We collect a representative sample of studies in T-cell biology that illustrate the benefits of modelling-experimental collaborations and that have proven valuable or eve...

Modern Mathematics in Biomedical Imaging

Over the past decades, modern mathematics is playing an increasingly important role in the development of biomed-ical imaging, yielding groundbreaking ideas and powerful tools for clinical and preclinical applications. Nevertheless, there are not only growing obstacles between applied mathematicians and imaging engineers to communicate more effectively but also great synergy to be unlocked acro...

Mathematics for modern precision engineering.

The aim of precision engineering is the accurate control of geometry. For this reason, mathematics has a long association with precision engineering: from the calculation and correction of angular scales used in surveying and astronomical instrumentation to statistical averaging techniques used to increase precision. This study illustrates the enabling role the mathematical sciences are playing...

The Architecture of Modern Mathematics Edited

edited by José Ferreirós and Jeremy Gray Oxford University Press, 2006, 442 pp. $ 69.50 US, ISBN 0198567936 REVIEWED BY ANDREW ARANA This collection of essays explores what makes modern mathematics ‘modern’, where ‘modern mathematics’ is understood as the mathematics done in the West from roughly 1800 to 1970. This is not the trivial matter of exploring what makes recent mathematics recent. The...
