書名：Calculus for Biology and Medicine (PNIE) 3/e 作者：Neuhauser 出版社：Pearson 出版日期：2014/00/00 ISBN：9781292022260 內容簡介 ●Calculus is taught in the context of biology–but presented so that instructorswithout a biology background can use the text successfully, while students are able to acquire a firm foundation in calculus to apply to problems in their chosen field. ●Mathematical content is geared to the needs of biology students–for example, there is less emphasis on integration techniques and more coverage of differential equations and systems of differential equations. Additionally, a section on translating word problems into graphs provides students with skills in graphing and basic transformations of functions. ●New concepts are introduced through a three-part process: (1) Biological examples introduce every topic, followed by a (2) thorough discussion outside of the life science context to enable students to become familiar with both the meaning and the mechanics of the mathematics. (3) Finally, in-depth biological examples help students see how to use the material in a life science context. ●All examples are completely worked out, and steps in the calculations are annotated with clear and helpful explanations. The examples in each subsection increase in difficulty. ●A variety of exercises follow every section. 。Each exercise set begins with drill problems. These are followed by increasingly difficult, more conceptual problems. Finally, word problems tie the concepts into biology. 。Word problems draw from standard biology texts or original research to help students apply the mathematics to a life science context. 。End-of-section exercises are organized by subsection, enabling students to focus on specific topics as necessary, and helping instructors create the most appropriate assignments for the class. 目錄 1.
