Mathematics for the Life Sciences by Erin N Bodine
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
...Students will maximize the value of the text with an earlier introduction to calculus fundamentals, or being introduced at the same time with additional material. The textbook also covers basic analysis of bivariate data (histograms, linear regression, correlation, etc.), allometry (exponential and logarithmic modeling), sequence, vectors and matrices to eigenvalues, probability. Adding to this three chapters on differential equations provides this introductory text with wide scope. Undergraduate life science students will find here a single volume covering the basic requirements for attaining mathematical literacy in the study of modern biology. The authors took on an ambitious challenge to incorporate fundamentals essential for analyzing biological systems into a single volume. The result is a cogent, thorough, and largely self-contained introductory textbook for undergraduate biology students.
