商品描述

The chief goal in this textbook is to show students how calculus relates to biology, with a style that maintains rigor without being overly formal. The text motivates and illustrates the topics of calculus with examples drawn from many areas of biology, including genetics, biomechanics, medicine, pharmacology, physiology, ecology, epidemiology, and evolution, to name a few. Particular attention has been paid to ensuring that all applications of the mathematics are genuine, and references to the primary biological literature for many of these has been provided so that students and instructors can explore the applications in greater depth. 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 from a course based on this book 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.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本教科書的主要目標是向學生展示微積分與生物學的關聯,風格既保持嚴謹性又不過於正式。本書通過來自生物學的多個領域的例子,包括遺傳學、生物力學、醫學、藥理學、生理學、生態學、流行病學和進化等,來激發並說明微積分的主題。特別注意確保數學的所有應用都是真實的,並提供了許多這些應用的主要生物文獻的參考,以便學生和教師可以更深入地探索這些應用。雖然重點是數學與生命科學之間的界面,但書中的邏輯結構是由數學材料來推動的。通過這本書的課程,學生將獲得扎實的數學知識,並理解數學論證的重要性。同樣重要的是,他們還將清楚地理解這些數學概念和技巧在生命科學中的核心地位。
