Description
Book SynopsisCore Maths for the Biosciences introduces the range of mathematical concepts that bioscience students need to master during thier studies. Starting from fundamental concepts, it blends clear explanations and biological examples throughout as it equips the reader with the full range of mathematical tools required by biologists today.
Trade ReviewExactly the sort of thing that will be helpful in showing those with biological problems how mathematics can be very useful - and that what is really important is maintaining an intuitive understanding between the mathematics - which is essentially no more, but no less, than a way of thinking very precisely - and the actual phenomena they are dealing with...Very fine indeed. * Professor Lord May of Oxford, Department of Zoology, University of Oxford *
Fantastic. Easy to understand, interactive, biologically relevant and dictated in a way that seemed as though you are almost having a conversation with the author. * James Sleigh, Student, University of Oxford *
Coherent and clear. The best I have seen this kind of material treated. * Stephen Hubbard, University of Dundee *
This book is by far the best of its kind, a spectacular diamond in the rough. * Helen Smith, student, University of Salford *
The interactive spreadsheets are a work of genius. * Stuart Fisk, student, University of Essex *
