Smale@95: A Conference in Honor of Steve Smale

Oscillations are ubiquitous in biology. The science inspired by such phenomena has a wide range of motivations. Here I focus on the distinction between work that highlights the mathematical and/or “universal” structure of some phenomena and work intended to highlight the functional importance of biological detail.
