A mathematical model in Biology is a way of using numbers, equations and graphs to represent real-life biological processes. It helps scientists understand and predict how things work in nature, such as how populations of animals grow or how diseases spread. By creating a simplified version of a biological system using maths, scientists can test ideas and predict what might happen without needing to always do real-life experiments. This makes it easier to experiment with different scenarios and find solutions to problems in biology.
