Mathematics for Biosciences: From Theory to Worked Examples and Applications

Texte du rabat

Mathematics for Biosciences aims to bridge the gap among students in the Biosciences between those who are equipped with mathematical training, and those without. It is carefully curated to provide those students who did not study maths to a higher level in secondary school with the relevant mathematical skills and tools required for the successful understanding of their chosen discipline within the Biosciences. This textbook is not simply a compendium of the necessary mathematical tools: where appropriate, the material will be developed beyond the level needed just to 'get by', in order to extend the students' mathematical skills to a working knowledge of some of the more advanced concepts of the topic under consideration. Importantly, this textbook utilises a tried-and-tested pedagogical philosophy that the authors have developed over 25 years of 'on the job' experience in successfully teaching mathematics to nearly 3,000 undergraduate students reading for Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry at the University of Oxford (UK). Aimed at first-year undergraduate students reading for degrees such as Biochemistry, Biology, Natural Sciences, Chemistry, Medicine, and Biomedical Sciences, this is an ideal resource for those needing a complete course of mathematics, from basic algebra to advanced calculus and their applications"- Provided by publisher.
