Stewart/Day’s “Biocalculus: Calculus, Probability, and Statistics for the Life Sciences” 2nd Edition, with WebAssign, emphasizes problem-solving while demonstrating how calculus relates to biology. The coverage motivates and illustrates the topics of calculus with examples drawn from many areas of biology, including genetics, biomechanics, medicine, pharmacology, physiology, ecology, epidemiology, evolution and more. The second edition has been updated to engage today’s students and include the latest terminology and issues. Particular attention has been paid to ensuring that all applications of mathematics are genuine. Students will come away with a sound knowledge of mathematics, an understanding of the importance of mathematical arguments and a clear understanding of how these mathematical concepts and techniques are central in the life sciences.

What's New

  • New and updated real-world biological applications and models appear in numerous new examples and exercises.
  • A new Case Study on modeling infectious diseases and their vaccination evolution draws on functions, limits, optimization, differential equations, statistics and data analysis.
  • New coverage includes differential equations as models of biological systems, introductory material on data science/machine learning and numerical methods of integration.
  • New WebAssign problem types include Expanded Problems with multiple steps and Explore It exercises with interactive learning modules that develop conceptual understanding.

Features

  • Biological background for each application is given, and actual data concerning biological phenomena is used to introduce, motivate and illustrate the concepts of calculus.
  • Graded exercise sets progress from basic conceptual exercises and skill-development problems to more challenging problems involving applications and proofs.
  • Conceptual homework exercise sets offer a variety of problem types, including requests to explain the meanings of the basic concepts of the section.
