Dynamics of Mathematical Models in Biology Bringing Mathematics to
This volume focuses on contributions from both the mathematics and life science community surrounding the concepts of time and dynamicity of nature, two significant elements which are often overlooked in modeling process to avoid exponential computations.

Preface
Despite Galileo’s claim that mathematics is the language of nature, the two disciplines of mathematics and life sciences had been considered two planets belonging to two very far galaxies which would never meet. The two communities were vastly different and it seemed impossible for them to collaborate. Only recently when life scientists began producing experimental data at an unprecedentedly high pace, did it become clear that mathematical models were necessary to interpret such data and to structure them, with the ultimate goal of unveiling biological mechanisms, to making new discoveries, and to making predictions. There are very few examples of events that bring the two communities together to discuss research questions. For this reason we decided to cr
