The increasing complexity of biological problems and the increase of mathematical means to handle them on the one hand, and the possibility of automatized computation at the other, necessitate a revaluation of the present interactions between biology and mathematics; in this connection interrelations occur which can be divided into three kinds: mathematical biology, biological mathematics, and 'general biomathematics' or methodology of the biomathematical sciences, by which are meant those scientific branches which arise from the said interactions.
一方面,生物学问题日益复杂,处理这些问题的数学方法不断增加;另一方面,自动化计算成为可能,这就需要重新评估当前生物学与数学之间的相互作用;在这方面,出现了一些相互关系,可分为三类:数学生物学、生物数学以及“一般生物数学”或生物数学科学的方法论,这里所说的是指由上述相互作用产生的那些科学分支。
