Paperback. This book introduces mathematical modeling to bioscience students, with first semester calculus as the only prerequisite. It is the first of a two-part series exploring essential concepts of calculus in the context of biological systems. Michael Frame covers the essential ideas and theories of basic calculus while providing examples of how they relate and are applicable to subjects such as chemotherapy and tumor growth, chemical diffusion, allometric scaling, predator-prey relations, nerve impulses, and more. He presents Pearls causality calculus to resolve Simpsons paradox, simple cardiac dynamics models, basic epidemiological models including Ronald Rosss study of malaria and its epidemic curves, and limit cycles for the glycolysis model. Based on the authors calculus class at Yale, the book makes concepts of calculus less abstract and more relatable for science majors and premedical students. An award-winning professors introduction to essential concepts of calculus and mathematical modeling for students in the biosciences Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

About this title

Synopsis

An award-winning professor’s introduction to essential concepts of calculus and mathematical modeling for students in the biosciences

This is the first of a two-part series exploring essential concepts of calculus in the context of biological systems. Michael Frame covers essential ideas and theories of basic calculus and probability while providing examples of how they apply to subjects like chemotherapy and tumor growth, chemical diffusion, allometric scaling, predator-prey relations, and nerve impulses. Based on the author’s calculus class at Yale University, the book makes concepts of calculus more relatable for science majors and premedical students.

About the Author

Michael Frame retired in 2016 as adjunct professor of mathematics at Yale University. For more than twenty years Frame taught courses on fractal geometry and calculus based on applications in biology and medicine. Amelia Urry and he are the coauthors of Fractal Worlds: Grown, Built, and Imagined.
