And there it goes again..

As we know mathematics is the comprehensive study of numbers, shapes, symbols and data’s that come together as important quantitative or qualitative information. None the less, when we talk about mathematics our common knowledge are just numbers in algebra forms, but we do not realize that mathematics scopes in different fields that help towards understand the complexity of it.
As we are given the second book review I was enthralled with the tittle of the book Ian Stewart wrote, it was “The Mathematics of Life” I can barely decipher the meaning of the title, but if we divide it, we say mathematics is subjected to numbers and life is subjected to existence so before I read the book I predicted it as a book about the involvement of mathematics and biology that co-exist to build a better understanding of each other.
The Mathematics of Life is a book that talks about the 5 great revolutions in which scientists' life revolved. These were (1) the microscope; (2) classification; (3) evolution; (4) Genetics; and (5) the structure of DNA. However, Stewart discussed that biology is in the early stage of a sixth revolution, no other than mathematics.

Basically mathematics along with biology did a big evolutionary advancement. None the less with each other handling each other’s back they propel into a high advance technology.

  2. Yeah, Bio and Math does sound cool. Little short though maybe add some summary and you'll be good to go
