Abstract
The mathematics necessary for the study of adaptation does not consist simply of the solution of a particular mathematical problem. The problem, to the bio-mathematician, ranges from the identification of the basic logic necessary for the representation of the basic concept of mechanism, through its development into various branches (such as from the discrete to the continuous and from the non-metric to the metric), to the eventual use of specialised techniques for special particular problems.
