Abstract
Mathematics is playing an ever more important role in the biomedical sciences and has been the catalyst for a blurring of boundaries between scientific disciplines in the natural sciences and a resurgence of interest in the modern as well as classical methods of applied mathematics. The development of new disciplines (and new ideas) is a natural consequence of this highly synergistic interaction of the biomedical and mathematical sciences, spurred on by dramatic and far-reaching developments on the research frontiers of applied mathematics, as computational disciplines, dynamical systems, stochastic analysis, chaos (amongst others), reinvigorate and reinforce the traditional disciplines of applied mathematics.
