Mathematical Applications in Zoology a Concept of Zoo-Mathematics

Abstract

Zoology, often referred to as animal science, involves the study of animals and their 
life processes. While statistical methods find application in zoological research, the 
incorporation of mathematics extends beyond statistics. Within various zoological branches such 
as Ecology, Animal Physiology, Genetics, and Evolution, mathematical formulas play a critical 
role. While other branches might also leverage mathematics, this paper emphasizes the 
significance of its application in the aforementioned areas. 
In Ecology, mathematical formulas underpin investigations into community dynamics, population 
ecology, ecosystem functioning, and birth and death rates. Animal Physiology delves into 
chapters on Biochemical Reactions, Diffusion, Osmosis, and Excitability, where mathematical 
relationships are evident. The paper underscores the profound role of Mathematics and Statistics 
in elucidating genetics and evolution concepts.
