摘要
Compared to physics and chemistry, biology has traditionally been regarded as more of a descriptive science, although Reginald Harris （1933） wrote in the preface to the first volume of the Cold Spring Harbor （CSH） Symposia series on Quantitative Biology： ＂... The primary motive of the conference symposia is to consider a given biological problem from its chemical, physical and mathematical, as well as from its biological aspects＂. In 1942, the Nobel-Prize-winning Luria-Delbruck experiment set up one of the first examples to apply mathematics to make quantitative predictions in bacteriophage genetics.
