Hello,
I'm putting together a course to use Mathematica for modeling of biological systems. Specifically using differential equations to describe relationships between biological entities in multiple scales (intra-cellular, extra-cellular, ecological).
Are there any statistics on Mathematica use in this area that I could quote? I'm trying to build a case for using Mathematica over other languages (Matlab, R, C, Java). Does anyone know of articles that illustrate this cross-language comparison?

Hi Armand,
Mathematica is a great tool for computational biology and bioinformatics. In fact MIT OpenCourseWare includes a course on "Genomics and Computational Biology" that utilizes Mathematica.

Below are some additional web pages that you may find useful. The "Why Choose Mathematica" section address how Mathematica compares to other tools commonly used.

If anyone else is using Mathematica to teach computational biology, and would like to offer some feedback on your personal experinces, please do.
