* Berret, Bastien; Christian Darlot & Frédéric Jean et al. (2008), "The Inactivation Principle: Mathematical Solutions Minimizing the Absolute Work and Biological Implications for the Planning of Arm Movements", PLoS Computational Biology 4: e1000194, DOI:10.1371/journal.pcbi.1000194

A nice example of how biological and mathematical research may intertwine at times

* The Role of Theory in Advancing 21st-Century Biology:Catalyzing Transformative Research

* de Vries G, Hillen T. (2008) Teaching Mathematical Biology in a Summer School for Undergraduates. Mathematical Modeling of Biological Systems Volume II, Chapter 32, pages 369-377. | Serves as an introduction to the discipline of mathematical biology as taught in one undergraduate setting.
* Our summer school…teaches the following applied math skills in the context of mathematical biology: theory, modelling, analysis, computation, data fitting, and prediction.

* Cohen JE (2004) Mathematics Is Biology's Next Microscope, Only Better; Biology Is Mathematics' Next Physics, Only Better. PLoS Biol 2(12): e439.
* Charles Darwin was right when he wrote that people with an understanding “of the great leading principles of mathematics… seem to have an extra sense” (F. Darwin 1905 [Darwin F, editor. (1905) The life and letters of Charles Darwin. New York: Appleton. Available: http://pages.britishlibrary.net/charles.darwin/texts/letters/letters1_02.html via the Internet.]). Today's biologists increasingly recognize that appropriate mathematics can help interpret any kind of data. In this sense, mathematics is biology's next microscope, only better.
