Description
Calculus in Biological Systems: An Introduction to Mathematical Models I By Michael Frame Yale University Press, 2021 This book introduces essential concepts of calculus and mathematical modeling for students in the biosciences. It explores how these ideas apply to subjects like chemotherapy, tumor growth, chemical diffusion, allometric scaling, predator-prey relations, and nerve impulses. The author's approach is based on his experience teaching calculus at Yale University, where he makes complex concepts more relatable for science majors and premedical students. This first volume of a two-part series covers the basics of calculus and probability, providing a solid foundation for further study in the biosciences. With clear explanations and practical examples, this book helps students understand how mathematical modeling can be used to analyze and solve problems in biology.
