Although the focus is on the interface between mathematics and the life sciences, the logical structure of the book is motivated by the mathematical material. Students will come away with a sound knowledge of mathematics and an understanding of the importance of mathematical arguments. Equally important, they will also come away with a clear understanding of how these mathematical concepts and techniques are central in the life sciences.-- UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1608/2014945476-b.html UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1608/2014945476-d.html UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1608/2014945476-t.html ER -
