Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The use of mathematics for modelling is essential in many scientific areas. The complexity of real-world systems and the growing availability of biological data make the close interaction between scientists of different disciplines crucial for realism and significance of the obtained theoretical results. Mathematical biology is a particularly vibrant field, utilising mathematical, statistical and computer-based methods to investigate a wide range of biological problems in areas such as epidemiology, virology, complex ecosystems, genetics, cancer dynamics, and many others. In this Special Issue, the theory of differential equations stands out as indispensable for modelling and understanding biological phenomena, regarding its conceptual richness and applicability. By disclosing the compelling aspects of combining mathematics with real-world problems, this Special Issue is likely to attract a wide audience by its importance and interdisciplinarity.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Mathematics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
