Abstract
Nicolas Rashevsky was a pioneer in applying mathematics to biology. He is perhaps best known for his creation of neural net models and his applications of these models to a wide variety of problems in physiology and psychology. His journal, the Bulletin of Mathematical Biophysics (renamed Bulletin of Mathematical Biology), and his two volume tome, Mathematical Biophysics [1], inspired others to use mathematical models in biology. Here we give a brief description of Rashevsky’s career and discuss his lasting (or not so lasting) influence.
