Under the patronage of the Dean of the College of Science for Women, Professor Dr. Samira Naji Kazim, the Continuing Education Unit—in cooperation with the Department of Mathematics—organized a scientific workshop titled “Applied Mathematics in Service of Medicine and Biological Sciences.” The event was held at the Hospitality Hall with the participation of faculty members, staff, and students.
The workshop was presented by Assistant Professor Dr. Ban Jaafar Hassan and Assistant Lecturer Hadeel Hussein Nassif.
Key Discussion Pillars:
-
Pure vs. Applied Mathematics: The session began by distinguishing between Pure Mathematics, which focuses on abstract theories and mathematical structures, and Applied Mathematics, which involves employing mathematical laws and models to solve real-world problems, particularly in medical and biological fields.
-
Mathematical Modeling in Medicine: The presenters showcased various mathematical laws and models used for early disease diagnosis. This is achieved through medical data analysis, statistical modeling, and the study of biological patterns, all of which support medical decision-making and improve the accuracy of clinical predictions.
-
Integration of Sciences: The workshop emphasized the vital integration between mathematical and medical sciences. It was highlighted that applying mathematics contributes to advancing scientific research, improving healthcare system efficiency, and enhancing the understanding of complex biological phenomena.
