Uhm, interesting, yes, those too could be included under the biology category. But why not unbiological chemistry or unbiological phhysics?

Are there any reason compelling you to go into pure mathematics beside passion? Aren't you afraid that your discipline will not yield any practical benefits for mankind?

There are physicists who insist that the universe is finite and has a distinct geometry. So what'd be the problem if the universe were infinite?

Why did you choose biology? Why not chemistry or physics? Is there something about the utter complexities of life that draw you to this discipline?

I know how to do math. I understand its complexities and the elegance of mathematical models. Sometimes I even admire it. However I don't have a particular love for mathematics and consider it only as a tool. I am looking forward to become a neuroscientist. Would this lack of love for math...

I've always want to understand the mind and its inner working. After lots of consideration I've narrowed my choice down to computational neuroscience. I know it's a hardcore science but I'd like to know more about it. How much math is required? What disciplines would suit it best? Every...
