On the concept of biomathematics

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.
