This is a blog about biomathematics. This space intends to be a place for discussion of the project. The aim of the project is producing a prototype for a course in biomathematics for a general public, independent of the background, and likely creating some live courses.

The paradigm changes: from medicine to mathematics, and from mathematics to medicine
Maybe you will one day, or even have already seen, someone called "doctor", but with a piece of paper full of mathematical formulae; or even the opposite, a mathematician (or engineering) with a piece of paper full of heart diagrams and recipes for best administration of drugs. It is getting more and more common nowadays the overlapping of the responsibilities generally attributed to either of them. The good question is whether it is representing something stable, something with the ways to rise and never fall, and if it will last enough for making the difference; hoping to change the practices in medicine and vise versa. Two problems are faced by medicine in general nowadays: the incapacity to handle all the disease treatments and detection demand and the lack of enough professionals. Those two just-mentioned points have been the guiding lines of several research groups all over the world.
Book Suggestions: philosophy and paradigms part I
Introduction
This is a set of books I believe can be quite useful for anyone trying to grasp the evolution of biomathematics as a branch of science.
