Biology and mathematics: A fruitful merger of two cultures

The great promise of biological science is not its ‘mathematization’ per se, but the creative interaction between experimental biology and what one, in analogy to physics, may simply call theoretical biology. The key to, and also the great challenge in, fulfilling this promise is to find the correct fundamental notions to mathematically describe biological reality.
