botany, like all science, uses math to find correlations to predict and clarify future results.

The basic use of math is statistical; mutation rates, quantitative genetics, modeling, dendrochronology, etc.

The more creative parts with math are the Fibonacci numbers in the growth spirals, the fractals in the leaves, and the multiples of 3 found in petals in monocots.

Mathematics is used in botany to analyze and model plant growth patterns, study plant population dynamics, and predict the spread of diseases among plants. Mathematical concepts such as geometry, statistics, and algebra are applied in various ways to understand and improve the study of plant life.
