Perhaps there is more scope for new applications of mathematics to biology than to physics, because physicists have been using advanced math for centuries. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/03/science/broad-institute-director-finds-power-in-numbers.html PROFILES IN SCIENCE \| ERIC LANDER Power in Numbers By GINA KOLATA New York Times January 2, 2012 "To see what is in front of one's nose needs a constant struggle." - George Orwell
