Description
Cengage Learning Modeling The Dynamics Of Life Calculus And Probability For Life Scientists 3Rd Edition (International Edition) by Adler F R
Designed to help life sciences students understand the role mathematics has played in breakthroughs in epidemiology, genetics, statistics, physiology, and other biological areas, "Modeling the Dynamics of Life: Calculus and Probability for Life Scientists, 3/e, International Edition", provides students with a thorough grounding in mathematics, the language, and 'the technology of thought' with which these developments are created and controlled. The text teaches the skills of describing a system, translating appropriate aspects into equations, and interpreting the results in terms of the original problem. The text helps unify biology by identifying dynamical principles that underlie a great diversity of biological processes. Standard topics from calculus courses are covered, with particular emphasis on those areas connected with modeling such as discrete-time dynamical systems, differential equations, and probability and statistics.
