Features & benefits
  • covers a broad range of examples from the biological and medical sciences.
  • focuses on the use of theorems to solve problems, rather than on the mechanics of proving theorems.
  • includes sections on model-building to help readers apply mathematics to problems in the biological sciences.
  • outlines a step-by-step procedures for solving "word problems."
  • features many worked examples -- both purely algebraic and biological.
  • presents rules for differentiation in verbal form.
  • provides an introductory pre-calculus review chapter.
