Title:
Comparing Mathematical and Algorithmic Modeling in Biology

Abstract:
The paper uses several examples to illustrate a distinctive difference between alternative models of biological systems those of the mathematical vs. those of the algorithmic format. Primary among these comparisons are the models of researchers dealing with neural networks versus those of artificial intelligence All researchers who predicate their work on the cognitive sciences. We show how the literature of biology itself reveals why one approach to the modelling of biological systems is more likely to succeed than the other. We compare historically the acclaimed successes of non-mathematical biologists e.g., Darwins ORIGIN OF THE SPECIES and Lorenzs paper, Fashionable Fallacy of Dispensing with Description .
