In the most literal interpretation of the term, <b>biological mathematics</b> refers to biology of a mathematical nature &mdash; in particular, biological systems  that imbed mathematical operations &mdash; hence, its application to the emerging subdiscipline of biology that explores and exploits the use of biological systems to perform mathematical/computational operations and achieve solutions to mathematical/computational problems &mdash; for example, computing with DNA molecules<ref>Kari L, Landweber LF. (2000) Computing with DNA. ''Methods Mol.Biol.'' 132:413-430.</ref> &mdash; and that studies the natural occurrence of computational processes in biological and living systems. <ref>Bray D.
