math in physiology

Many people think that life science has no correlation to mathematics but in actuality, subjects such as physiology and anatomy deal with math more than expected. I have had to personally use math in physiology when we looked at slides through microscopes and measured the organisms with a ruler. We had to convert the measurements from centimeters to millimeters. For classwork we have also done some assignments that require measuring angles of movements such as range of motion of the ankle. Then, we took the average of our degrees and put it in a average range of motion graph. There are many other examples of mathematical uses in life science such as the rate of something. Doctors may need to know someone's heart rate or rates of cell division. A lot of measuring is done in life science. Overall I think that there needs to be some knowledge of math in order to work in life science.
