Applying mathematics to biology has a long history, but only recently has there been an explosion of interest in the field. Some reasons for this include: the explosion of data-rich information sets, due to the genomics revolution, which are difficult to understand without the use of analytical tools, recent development of mathematical tools such as chaos theory to help understand complex, non-linear mechanisms in biology, an increase in computing power which enables calculations and simulations to be performed that were not previously possible, and an increasing interest in in-silico experimentation due to the complications involved in human and animal research. This new book presents the latest leading-edge research in the field.
"Designed for a one-term course in finite mathematics for students who have had one to two years of high school algebra or the equivalent"--Preface.
The text's emphasis on helping students "get the idea" is enhanced in the new edition by a design refresh, updated data and applications, and a robust MyLab(tm) Math course.
Based on the best-selling Calculus and Its Applications by Marv Bittinger, this new text is appropriate for a two-semester calculus course for life science majors.
