Foundation Mathematics for Biosciences provides an accessible and clear introduction to mathematical skills for students of the biosciences. The book chapters cover key topic areas and their associated techniques, thereby presenting the maths in context. A student focused pedagogical approach will help students build their confidence, develop their understanding and learn how to apply mathematical techniques within their studies. Students will be able to use the book as a resource to complement their theory-based textbooks and to prepare themselves for practical classes, tutorials and research projects. Key features The book progresses in a logical manner, opening with fundamental problems and then building to more complex calculations aligned to different disciplines in the biosciences. * Worked examples with detailed solutions provide step-by-step guidance through each calculation to help students build their practical skills. * Important rules and key points are highlighted in text boxes to help students consolidate their understanding of techniques and theory. * Illustrations provide insight into what students are likely to encounter in the laboratory. * Self-assessment questions are provided throughout to enable students to manage their learning and track their progress. * Learning objectives and key terms also help students to monitor their study. Suitable for students on courses from the pure end of the spectrum to more applied courses such as biomedical sciences, microbiology, molecular biology, physiology, and forensics. Dr Ela Bryson is Senior Lecturer in Molecular Biology at the School of Life and Medical Sciences at the University of Hertfordshire Dr Jackie Willis is Associate Dean of the School of Life and Medical Sciences at the University if Hertfordshire This book can be supported by MyMathLabGlobal, an online teaching and learning platform designed to build and test your understanding. The book and the MyMathLabGlobal system provide a range of benefits including: * A tool for the diagnosis of existing strengths and weaknesses in maths * A comprehensive set of algorithmically generated questions that can be used by students to practise and develop their skills in an independent and flexible manner and by the tutor to evaluate progress Need extra support?

This package contains Foundation Mathematics for Biosciences, Book agnostic lab 1e and access to MyMathLab. Important information for students: You need both an access code and a course ID to access MyMathLab. Ask your lecturer before purchasing a MyLab product as you will need a course ID from them before you can gain access to the system. This integrated learning solution, comprising a book and online assessment support (MyMathLabGlobal), provides tools to develop foundation numeracy and maths skills for students of the biosciences. It can be used with courses at the pure end of the spectrum to courses of a highly applied nature, such as biomedical sciences, molecular biology, microbiology, physiology and forensics. The subject coverage has been designed to support the practical as well as theoretical aspects of these courses, and is in large part set in a biological context so that students can directly see the relevance of maths skills to their main subject. This package includes MyMathLab, an online homework, tutorial, and assessment system designed with a single purpose in mind; to improve the results of all higher education students, one student at a time. With a wide range of interactive, engaging, and assignable activities, students are encouraged to actively learn and retain tough course concepts. Find out more at www.MyMathLab.com.
