Mathematics for the Life Sciences Calculus, Modeling, Probability, and Dynamical Systems

From the book reviews:

“The exposition is very clear and detailed with a large number of carefully selected examples and exercises based on the material familiar to biologists. An excellent choice for the lecturer interested in designing a 2-course sequence of 4-credit courses covering almost the entire book, a 2-course sequence of 3-credit calculus-for-biology courses for students with no calculus background, or a 3-credit calculus-for-biology course with selected material.” (Svitlana P. Rogovchenko, zbMATH, Vol. 1302, 2015)

“The author’s aim here is to give students enough experience with mathematical modeling that they can read and appreciate scientific work with mathematical content. … Throughout the book the author includes case studies in his problem sets that continue and develop as new material from the text is introduced. … This is a clearly written text that is sensitive to the needs and capabilities of life science students.” (William J. Satzer, MAA Reviews, August, 2014)

“This is an ideal text for novice students, enabling them to learn techniques that have immediate applicability. … Summing Up: Highly recommended. Lower-division undergraduates.” (P. Cull, Choice, Vol. 51 (11), August, 2014)
