Abstract
Mathematical science and Biological sciences are interdisciplinary approaches in the field of scientific research Both of them deserve a wide range of applications The study of mathematics for biology is sometimes called mathematical biology or biomathematics to stress the mathematical side or theoretical biology to stress the biological side One can derive the quantitative genetics through consideration of infinitesimal effects at a large number of gene loci together with the assumption of linkage equilibrium or quasi-linkage equilibrium Ronald Fisher made The intensive work on fundamental advances in statistics Example Analysis of Variance belong to Ronald Fisher This achievement by Ronald Fisher was through his work on quantitative genetics The phylogenetics is one more important branch of population genetics that led to the extensive development of Biological sciences through Mathematics The Phylogenetics is the branch dealing with the reconstruction and analysis of phylogenetic evolutionary trees and network based on inherited characteristics Assumptions on the Constant Population Size belongs to many Population Genetics models The population dynamics is treating the Variable Population Size as absence of genetic variation History of such type of work goes back to the 19th century Even as far as 1798 In 1798 Thomas Malthus formulated the first principle of population dynamics This principle later became popularize as the Malthusian Growth Model Alfred J Lotka in 1910 proposed the model of autocatalytic chemical reactions Vito Volterra tried his best to extend this work and titled as Lotka - Volterra Predator-Prey Equations Basically Vito Volterra was Mathematician The mathematical epidemiology is the study of infectious disease affecting populations Upto some extent the Population dynamics use to overlaps mathematical epidemiology The mathematics and Biology both are serving a lot to orc
