Core Maths for the Biosciences

Core Maths for the Biosciences introduces the range of mathematical concepts that bioscience students need to master during their studies. Starting from fundamental concepts, it blends clear explanations and biological examples throughout as it equips the reader with the full range of mathematical tools required by biologists today.

Dr. Martin Reed is Director of Teaching in the Department of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Bath, and has taught maths in universities since 1973, both in the UK and overseas (Swaziland, Papua New Guinea, Tanzania); the latter experience has developed his ability to explain subtle concepts in simple, clear language. Prior to his position at Bath, Martin was a member of the Biosciences Department at Brunel University, where he taught core skills to all first year students.
