Mathematics has demonstrated its full power in physics, which describes the phenomena of this world, from the functioning of celestial bodies to thermodynamics and electromagnetics. Biology, on the other hand, has focused primarily on the qualitative aspects oflife's diversity through observation and has historically been a discipline often distanced from mathematics. However, with the explosion of data generated by innovations in measurement technology, mathematical analysis, and mathematical models have become indispensable tools that allow us to delve deeper into the fundamental principles of life phenomena, from molecules to ecosystems. This symposium brings together experts in mathematics and biology to explore recent advances and future opportunities in mathematical biology and to unravel the mysteries of life.
