Mathematics
of Life 
Biology used to be about plants, animals, and insects, but five great revolutions have changed the way scientists think about Life.

A sixth is on its way.

The first five revolutions were the invention of the microscope, the systematic classification of the planet's living creatures, evolution, the discovery of the gene, and the structure of DNA.

The sixth revolution is mathematics.
