Description
In this much anticipated Calculus for Life Sciences, Binder Ready Version, the authors present the basic canons of first-year calculus, but motivated through real biological problems. The two main goals of the text are to provide students with a thorough grounding in calculus concepts and applications, analytical techniques, and numerical methods and to have students understand how, when, and why calculus can be used to model biological phenomena. Both students and instructors will find the book to be a gateway to the exciting interface of mathematics and biology. This text is an unbound, binder-ready edition.
About the Author
Sebastian J. Schreiber received his B.A. in mathematics from Boston university in 1989 and his Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of California, Berkeley in 1995. he is currently Professor of Ecology and Evolution at the University of California, Davis. Previously, he was an Associate Professor of Mathematics at the College of William and Mary, where he was the 2005 recipient of the Simon Prize for Excellence in the Teaching of Mathematics, and Western Washington University. Professor Schreiber's research on the application of stochastic processes and nonlinear dynamics to ecology, evolution, and epidemiology has been supported by grants from the National Science Foundation and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. He is the author of over 60 scientific papers in peer-reviewed mathematics and biology journals.
Features
- Topics are motivated where possible by significant biological applications, several of which appear in no other introductory calculus texts. Examples involve real world data and whenever possible, these examples motivate and develop formal definitions, procedures, and theorems.
- Each chapter includes one or more projects which can be used for individual or group work. These projects will be diverse in scope ranging from a study of enzyme kinetics to the heart rates in mammals to disease outbreaks.
- Difference equations and their applications are interwoven at the sectional level in the first four chapters.
- Introduces two topics, bifurcation diagrams and life history tables, which are often not covered in other calculus books. Bifurcation diagrams for univariate differential equations are a conceptually rich yet accessible topic. They provide an opportunity to illustrate that small parameter changes can have large dynamical effects.
- Throughout the text are problems described as Historical Quest. These problems are not just historical notes to help one see mathematics and biology as living and breathing disciplines, but are designed to involve the student in the quest of pursing some great ideas in the history of science.
- Throughout the book, concepts are presented visually, numerically, algebraically, and verbally. By presenting these different perspectives, it enhances as well as reinforces the students understanding of and appreciation for the main ideas.
