Mathematics in Natural Sciences and Environmental Sciences

There was a misleading belief among students of natural sciences on the application of mathematics in Iran. They often regarded mathematics as a hard science and difficult to cope with. Recent efforts of scientific associations and experts of mathematics and other sectors of sciences (e. g., natural sciences) in explaining the benefits from application of mathematics in various sciences have led to a better understanding of mathematics, particularly in environmental sciences. In this paper, the action and reaction of ecological characteristics (as components of our environment) have been compared with mathematical equations. Furthermore, application of mathematical models in observing and solving environmental problems has been numerated to some extent by showing some of my environmental models already in use in Iran.
