Written for students,Mathematics for the Life Sciencespresents comprehensive coverage of the mathematics necessary to describe, model, and analyze the vast array of problems associated with the life sciences. This textbook provides an accessible introduction to these critical mathematical concepts, linking them to biological observation and theory while also presenting the computational tools needed to address problems not readily investigated using mathematics alone. Topics include descriptive statistics, frequency distributions, linear regression, and scatter plots.
