<Mathematical biology> uses <mathematical models> to connect biological mechanisms with quantitative predictions. <Differential equations> can track changing quantities, while <population dynamics>, <enzyme kinetics> and <gene regulatory networks> ask how growth, reactions and feedback shape living systems. A useful <mathematical model> states its assumptions and units: a simple <chemostat>, for example, reveals how nutrient supply and removal jointly determine whether a culture persists.
