Motivation: Students constantly see the math applied to the life sciences.

A wide variety of life science applications reference real data from current sources.
- Apply It (formerly called “Think About It”) opens most sections with a provocative, real-world oriented question that is addressed in the exposition and exercises.
- Applied exercises are grouped by type of application and highlighted for easy identification.
- Extended Applications appear at the end of all chapters to stimulate student interest and foster in-depth learning.
- Index of Applications provides instructors and students with an overview of the types of applications throughout the book.
- NEW! Application exercises within MyMathLab are now labeled by type of application.

Built for student success: Proven pedagogy, robust exercise sets, and comprehensive end-of-chapter material help students succeed in the course.

Learning aids appear at key points to help students learn the key ideas.
- NEW! “Your Turn” exercises following selected examples provide students with an easy way to stop and check their understanding of the skill or concept being presented. Answers are provided at the end of the section’s exercises.
- Caution boxes warn students of common errors/misconceptions and Note boxes offer additional useful information. Both are highlighted for easy reference.
- Chapter Reviews are structured to help students prepare for tests.
  - NEW! A list of important formulas and definitions has been added.
  - NEW! Review exercises now begin with Concept Check exercises—a series of true/false exercises designed to assess key ideas.
  - NEW! The answers for review exercises (at the back of the book) now include a table listing the examples within the chapter that are most similar to each review exercise.
Help for Gaps in Prerequisite Skills for students who need it.
Diverse exercise sets show how math is used in the life sciences.
- Writing Exercises, denoted with an icon, provide students with an opportunity to write about important mathematical ideas.
- Technology Exercises, denoted with an icon, explore concepts using a graphing calculator or spreadsheet.
- Connection Exercises, denoted with an icon, integrate topics/concepts from different sections.
- Concept Check exercises in the Chapter reviews help students verify their understanding of important topics.
Technology coverage allows you to include as much or as little use of technology as you prefer.
- NEW! The updated design makes it eas
