Variability—Entropy theory; a New Concept of Health, Aging and Disease by Robert M
Mathematics is a profoundly useful discipline; it is profound because it appears to describe the deep structure of nature
It is useful because it may be used to both describe, in an explanatory sense, and predict, the behaviour of a wide range of systems. It is useful in a more pragmatic sense in that, in its applied manifestation, mathematics forces measurement. This feature in particular is of great value in medicine— describing a physiological system in mathematical terms can inform experimental measurement, as well as permitting prediction
