TY - BOOK TI - Biocalculus : : Calculus, Probability, and Statistics for the Life Science / SN - 9780176684815 AV - QA 303.2 .S724 2015 U1 - 515 23 PY - 2015/// CY - Toronto PB - Nelson Education KW - Life sciences KW - Mathematics KW - Calculus KW - Study and teaching (Higher) KW - fast N1 - Includes bibliographical references and indexes; Functions and sequences -- Limits -- Derivatives -- Applications of derivatives -- Integrals -- Applications and integrals -- Differential equations -- Vectors and matrix models -- Multivariable calculus -- Systems of linear differential equations -- Descriptive statistitics -- Probability -- Inferential statistics N2 - The chief goal in Biocalculus: calculus for the life sciences is to show students how calculus relates to biology ... Although the focus is on the interface between mathematics and the life sciences, the logical structure of the book is motivated by the mathematical material. Students will come away with a sound knowledge of mathematics and an understanding of the importance of mathematical arguments. Equally important, they will also come away with a clear understanding of how these mathematical concepts and techniques are central in the life sciences.-- UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1608/2014945476-b.html UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1608/2014945476-d.html UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1608/2014945476-t.html ER -
