A Mathematical Excursion into Neuroscience

Author: Sarah Williams and Yumeng Fang


The Student and the Scientist College student Yumeng Fang has some questions.

• How can you choose a small part of the brain to study, since the whole brain works together?

• Math and biology are both big fields - how long does it take to learn them both?

• What is the role of mathematicians in neuroscience?

Luckily, Dr. Mainak Patel has some answers.
