Overview

For one-semester or two-semester courses in Calculus for Life Sciences.


Shows students how calculus is used to analyze phenomena in nature—while providing flexibility for instructors to teach at their desired level of rigor

Calculus for Biology and Medicine motivates life and health science majors to learn calculus through relevant and strategically placed applications to their chosen fields. It presents the calculus in such a way that the level of rigor can be adjusted to meet the specific needs of the audience, from a purely applied course to one that matches the rigor of the standard calculus track.  


In the 4th Edition, new co-author Marcus Roper (UCLA) partners with author Claudia Neuhauser to preserve these strengths while adding an unprecedented number of real applications and infusing more modeling and technology.


Also available with MyLab Math

MyLab™ Math is the teaching and learning platform that empowers you to reach every student. By combining trusted author content with digital tools and a flexible platform, MyLab Math personalizes the learning experience and improves results for each student. For the first time, instructors teaching with Calculus for Biology and Medicine can assign text-specific online homework and other resources to students outside of the classroom. Learn more about MyLab Math.
