title: On the concept of biomathematics.
abstract: The increasing complexity of biological problems and the increase of mathematical means to handle them on the one hand, and the possibility of automatized computation at the other, necessitate a revaluation of the present interactions between biology and mathematics; in this connection interrelations occur which can be divided into three kinds: mathematical biology, biological mathematics, and 'general biomathematics' or methodology of the biomathematical sciences, by which are meant those scientific branches which arise from the said interactions.
