Question 220904: how is algebra applied in biology?
Answer by stanbon(75887)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! I searched the web for "applications of algebra to biology"
and found that algebra permeates every aspect of modern
biology. The main area is the application of statistics in
biology, but Boolean algebra is also applied. Most of the
applications of algebra are far beyond the basic algebra
taught in high schools. All bodily functions and failings
are modeled algebraically.
--------------------------------
Students often say "show me some applications of this math".
The trouble is most students cannot understand the math used
in the applications. Students need to learn the basics.
Football players do not start at the NFL level.
