Description

For a two-semester or three-semester course in Calculus for Life Sciences.

 

Calculus for Biology and Medicine, Third Edition, addresses the needs of students 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 students with the knowledge and skills necessary to analyze and interpret mathematical models of a diverse array of phenomena in the living world. Since this text is written for college freshmen, the examples were chosen so that no formal training in biology is needed.


Features

  • Calculus is taught in the context of biology–but presented so that instructorswithout a biology background can use the text successfully, while students are able to acquire a firm foundation in calculus to apply to problems in their chosen field.
  • Mathematical content is geared to the needs of biology students–for example, there is less emphasis on integration techniques and more coverage of differential equations and systems of differential equations. Additionally, a section on translating word problems into graphs provides students with skills in graphing and basic transformations of functions.
  • New concepts are introduced through a three-part process: (1) Biological examples introduce every topic, followed by a (2) thorough discussion outside of the life science context to enable students to become familiar with both the meaning and the mechanics of the mathematics. (3) Finally, in-depth biological examples help students see how to use the material in a life science context.
  • All examples are completely worked out, and steps in the calculations are annotated with clear and helpful explanations. The examples in each subsection increase in difficulty.
  • A variety of exercises follow every section.
    • Each exercise set begins with drill problems. These are followed by increasingly difficult, more conceptual problems. Finally, word problems tie the concepts into biology.
    • Word problems draw from standard biology texts or original research to help students apply the mathematics to a life science context.
    • End-of-section exercises are organized by subsection, enabling students to focus on specific topics as necessary, and helping instructors create the most appropriate assignments for the class.

 


New To This Edition

  • Approximately 20% of the problems have been updated and new problems have been added.
  • The word problems are now labeled to make it easier to identify the area of application.
  • Learning objectives have been added to each chapter to help students structure their learning and stay focused on what they need to know.
  • Explanations and examples have been added to aid student understanding.
  • Additional figures have been added as appropriate to aid students in visualizing the mathematics.
  • Several sections have been rewritten or reorganized in response to users.
  • The basic organization of the text remains unchanged, with the following enhancements:
    • Practicing integration and partial fraction decomposition are now in separate sections.
    • The final chapter on probability and statistics has been expanded to include more statistics and more on stochastic processes, and can now be used as a semester-based course.

Author Bios

Claudia Neuhauser is Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs and Director of the Center for Learning Innovation at the University of Minnesota Rochester (UMR). She is a Distinguished McKnight University Professor, Howard Hughes Medical Institute Professor, and Morse-Alumni Distinguished Teaching Professor. She received her diploma in Mathematics from the Universität Heidelberg (Germany), and a PhD in Mathematics from Cornell University. Before joining UMR in July 2008, she was Professor and Head in the Department of Ecology, Evolution and Behavior at the University of Minnesota—Twin Cities, and a faculty member in mathematics departments at the University of Southern California, University of Wisconsin—Madison, University of Minnesota, and University of California—Davis. Dr. Neuhauser’s research is at the interface of ecology and evolution. She investigates effects of spatial structure on community dynamics, in particular, the effect of competition on the spatial structure of competitors and the effect of symbionts on the spatial distribution of their hosts. In addition, her research in population genetics has resulted in the development of statistical tools for random samples of genes. In her role as Director of the Center for Learning Innovation at the University of Minnesota Rochester, Dr. Neuhauser is responsible for the development of the Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences. The Center promotes a learner-centered, concept-based learning environment in which ongoing assessment guides and monitors student learning and is the basis for data-driven research on learning. Dr. Neuhauser’s interest in furthering the quantitative training of biology undergraduate students has resulted in a textbook on Calculus for Biology and Medicine and a web page Numb3r5 Count! (http://bioquest.org/numberscount/). In her spare time, she enjoys riding her bike, working out in the gym, and reading history and philosophy.
