The two main goals of the text are to provide students with a thorough grounding in calculus concepts and applications, analytical techniques, and numerical methods and to have students understand how, when, and why calculus can be used to model biological phenomena. Both students and instructors will find the book to be a gateway to the exciting interface of mathematics and biology. This text is an unbound, binder-ready edition. \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePreview of Modeling and Calculus\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e1 Modeling with Functions\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.1 Real Numbers and Functions\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.2 Data Fitting with Linear and Periodic Functions\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.3 Power Functions and Scaling Laws\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.4 Exponential Growth\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.5 Function Building\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.6 Inverse Functions and Logarithms\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.7 Sequences and Difference Equations\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e2 Limits and Derivatives\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.1 Rates of Change and Tangent Lines\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.2 Limits\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.3 Limit Laws and Continuity\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.4 Asymptotes and Infinity\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.5 Sequential Limits\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.6 Derivative at a Point\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.7 Derivatives as Functions\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGroup Projects\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e3 Derivative Rules and Tools\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.1 Derivatives of Polynomials and Exponentials\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.2 Product and Quotient Rules\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.3 Chain Rule and Implicit Differentiation\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.4 Derivatives of Trigonometric Functions\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.5 Linear Approximation\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.6 Higher Derivatives and Approximations\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.7 l’Hoˆ pital’s Rule\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGroup Projects\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e4 Applications of Differentiation\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4.1 Graphing Using Calculus\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4.2 Getting Extreme\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4.3 Optimization in Biology\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4.4 Decisions and Optimization\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4.5 Linearization and Difference Equations\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGroup Projects\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e5 Integration\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5.1 Antiderivatives\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5.2 Accumulated Change and Area under a Curve\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5.3 The Definite Integral\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5.4 The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5.5 Substitution\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5.6 Integration by Parts and Partial Fractions\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5.7 Numerical Integration\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5.8 Applications of Integration\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGroup Projects\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e6 Differential Equations\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6.1 A Modeling Introduction to Differential Equations\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6.2 Solutions and Separable Equations\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6.3 Linear Models in Biology\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6.4 Slope Fields and Euler’s Method\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6.5 Phase Lines and Classifying Equilibria\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6.6 Bifurcations\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGroup Projects\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e7 Probabilistic Applications of Integration\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7.1 Histograms, PDFs, and CDFs\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7.2 Improper Integrals\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7.3 Mean and Variance\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7.4 Bell-Shaped Distributions\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7.5 Life Tables\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGroup Projects\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e8 Multivariable Extensions\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8.1 Multivariate Modeling\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8.2 Matrices and Vectors\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8.3 Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8.4 Systems of Linear Differential Equations\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8.5 Nonlinear Systems\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGroup Projects\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eSebastian J. Schreiber\u003c\/b\u003e received his B.A. in mathematics from Boston university in 1989 and his Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of California, Berkeley in 1995. he is currently Professor of Ecology and Evolution at the University of California, Davis. Previously, he was an Associate Professor of Mathematics at the College of William and Mary, where he was the 2005 recipient of the Simon Prize for Excellence in the Teaching of Mathematics, and Western Washington University. Professor Schreiber's research on the application of stochastic processes and nonlinear dynamics to ecology, evolution, and epidemiology has been supported by grants from the National Science Foundation and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. He is the author of over 60 scientific papers in peer-reviewed mathematics and biology journals.  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003ePersonalize with Your Notes\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eCarry What You Need\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSucceed\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSome Things Are Just Better New\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47988877099237,"sku":"NP9781118180662","price":111.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781118180662.jpg?v=1761781880","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/calculus-for-the-life-sciences-isbn-9781118180662","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
