The application of physics and mathematics to medicine is one of the most rapidly growing areas of interdisciplinary research. Mathematical modeling can provide a quantitative framework to discuss, in detail, the interaction between all components of complex biological systems, as well as to test various therapeutic interventions. The combination of novel computational techniques and mathematical models, grounded in experimental and clinical data, thus provides a powerful new tool in biomedical research. One important application is to modeling tumor growth and its treatment.

物理学和数学在医学上的应用是跨学科研究中发展最快的领域之一。数学建模可以提供一个定量框架来详细讨论复杂生物系统的所有组成部分之间的相互作用，并测试各种治疗干预措施。基于实验和临床数据的新型计算技术和数学模型的结合，为生物医学研究提供了一种强大的新工具。一个重要的应用是模拟肿瘤生长及其治疗。
