Biology, as is usually taught, requires memorizing a wide selection of facts and remembering them for exams, sometimes forgetting them soon after. For students exposed to biology in secondary school, this text may seem like a different subject. The ability to model problems using mathematics requires almost no rote memorization, but it does require a deep understanding of basic principles and a wide range of mathematical techniques.
