From modeling the spread of infectious diseases and tumor growth to studying population dynamics and ecological interactions, mathematics plays a key role in identifying patterns, making predictions, and informing real-world decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the core of these studies are ordinary, partial, delayed, and stochastic differential equations, which provide powerful frameworks for describing biological processes across time and space.
