For a two-semester course in Calculus for Life Sciences.

This text addresses the needs of students in the biological sciences by teaching calculus in a biological context without reducing the course level. It is a calculus text, written so that a math professor without a biology background can teach from it successfully. New concepts are introduced in a three step manner. First, a biological example motivates the topic; second, the topic is then developed via a simple mathematical example; and third the concept is tied to deeper biological examples. This allows students: to see why a concept is important; to understand how to use the concept computationally; to make sure that they can apply the concept.

Neuhauser,  Calculus For Biology and Medicine, 3/E

  • NEW - Stronger biology focus in Calculus I.

    • Enables students to learn the material in the context of their major.

  • NEW - Discrete time models, sequences and difference equations chapter added. (New Chapter 2).

    • Introduces students to exponential growth decay, sequences and population models.

    • Allows for earlier introduction of biological examples.

  • NEW - Statistics and probability chapter substantially enlarged.

    • Enables students to become better trained quantitively.

  • NEW - 50-70% increase in problems in first 6 chapters (Calculus I).

    • Provides students with up-to-date problems that apply to their field.

  • NEW - Section on translating word problems into graphs.

    • Provides students with graphing and basic transformations of function information, as well as guidelines for translating word problems into graphs.

  • Calculus taught in the context of biology—Not watered down, as in many of the brief calculus versions.

    • Enables instructors without a biology background to use the text successfully. Enables students to acquire a firm foundation in calculus to apply calculus concepts to problems in the biological sciences.

  • Less emphasis on integration techniques and more coverage of differential equations and systems of differential equations.

    • Provides students with a discussion that includes both solution methods, and, to a larger extent, a qualitative discussion.

  • Examples worked out in step-by-step detail—Each subsection contains examples which increase in difficulty. The examples are completely worked out with a lot of detail on how one step follows from the previous—unlike in other calculus texts which often simply provide lengthy calculations without explanations.
  • A variety of problems after each section—The problems start out as drill problems. These are followed by increasingly harder, more conceptual problems. Finally, word problems tie the concepts into biology.

  • Stronger biology focus in Calculus I.

    • Enables students to learn the material in the context of their major.

  • Discrete time models, sequences and difference equations chapter added. (New Chapter 2).

    • Introduces students to exponential growth decay, sequences and population models.

    • Allows for earlier introduction of biological examples.

  • Statistics and probability chapter substantially enlarged.

    • Enables students to become better trained quantitively.

  • 50-70% increase in problems in first 6 chapters (Calculus I).

    • Provides students with up-to-date problems that apply to their field.

  • Section on translating word problems into graphs.

    • Provides students with graphing and basic transformations of function information, as well as guidelines for translating word problems into graphs.
