SynopsisCalculus for Biology and Medicine, Third Edition , addresses the needs of readers in the biological sciences by showing them how to use calculus to analyze natural phenomena without compromising the rigorous presentation of the mathematics. While the table of contents aligns well with a traditional calculus text, all the concepts are presented through biological and medical applications. The text provides readers with the knowledge and skills necessary to analyze and interpret mathematical models of a diverse array of phenomena in the living world. This book is suitable for a wide audience, as all examples were chosen so that no formal training in biology is needed., Calculus for Biology and Medicine, Third Edition , addresses the needs of readers in the biological sciences by showing them how to use calculus to analyze natural phenomena--without compromising the rigorous presentation of the mathematics.
