Life Science
To paraphrase Alfred North Whitehead, the purpose of education is not to fill a vessel but to kindle a fire. this desirable goal is not always an easy one to realize with students whose primary interest is in an area other than mathematics. The purpose of this text, then, is to present mathematical skills and concepts and to apply them to areas that are important to students in the management, life and social sciences. The applications included allow students to view mathematics in a practical setting relevant to their intended careers. Almost every chapter of this book includes a section or two devloted to the applications of mathematical topics. An index of these applications on the inside covers demonstrates the wide variety used in examples and exercises. although intended for students who have completed two years, or the equivalent; of high school algebra, this text begins with a brief review of algebra, which,if covered, will ad in preparing students for the work ahead.
