What Is Mathematical Biology?

[TARO FUJIMORI]

I am not sure what Mathematical Biology is, but I do know of several 
research fields in biological sciences that require a good understanding 
of mathematics.  Examples would include: enzyme kinetics, molecular 
modeling, and structural biology.  You might see if there is Biophysics 
curriculum where you are at, as this is a curriculum that often 
emphasizes the use of math in biology.
