The Use of Higher Mathematics in Surgery

Abstract

This article examines the practical application of higher mathematics in modern surgery using the example of a successful operation to correct a congenital heart defect in an infant. The author focuses on the role of mathematical modeling, numerical methods (in particular, the Navier-Stokes equations and the finite element method) and an interdisciplinary approach in medical practice. It is shown how the integration of knowledge from mathematics, physics, biology and engineering allows achieving highly accurate results in complex surgical interventions. The prospects for the development of symbiosis between science and medicine are considered separately.
