Calculus for The Life Sciences – eBook

In this much anticipated first edition of Calculus for The Life Sciences (PDF), the authors present the basic canons of 1st-year calculus but motivated through real biological problems. The two main goals of the textbook are to provide college students with a thorough grounding in calculus concepts and applications, analytical techniques, and numerical methods and to have maths or biology students understand how, when, and why calculus can be used to model biological phenomena. Both instructors and students will find the textbook to be a gateway to the exciting interface of biology and mathematics. This textbook balances rigorous mathematical training with extensive modeling of biological problems. The biological examples from ecology, health science, genetics, microbiology, and other domains, many based on cited data, are key features of this digital textbook.
