Calculus For Biology and Medicine (3rd Edition) (Calculus for Life Sciences Series) 3rd Edition

I bought it for my college class, and it does its job of teaching, but I don't really see how it's for bio and medicine, except for the few examples each chapter. Math's not my strong suit, so I don't particularly know if this is a good book or not, but I had to use it and I passed! yay!

The book was very clean and neat it was above the expectations which i thought before buying it .I would recommend it if you are looking for that price.

excellent book for the topic. good book quality received, meeting description by the seller.

Good homework problems for exam/final prep but it lost a star because some problems were overly difficult

Overall, a good and comprehensive book for the calculus student, but not enough biology/medicine-related examples to fully justify the title.

This is a terrible textbook which I believe has not been proofread and/or edited at all before being pushed for publication. I am taking a class that deals only with one chapter in this book, Probability and Statistics and I have found numerous errors, mathematical inaccuracies, and formatting anomalies.The answers in the back of the book are inconsistent with the correct answers, the answers in the supplementary solutions manual, are also inconsistent with the correct answers, and contain many grammatical and mathematical typos. In one such instance during the exercise problems after a section, the numbering jumps from 48 to 50, leaving no mention of question 49. Instead of correcting this error, the solutions in the back of the book begin to refer to problem 50 as 49, resulting in every problem thereafter being inaccurate.For the most part, the example problems in the section do not correlate to the more difficult questions in the textbook even slightly, with one question referring to a Bernstein inequality, a theorem which had yet to be even mentioned in the chapter. Inspection of the index reveals that the ONLY time this theorem is referenced to in the book is within the question asking about it itself.All in all, a terribly written textbook with little to no effort put into the mathematical theory. At the hefty price of over $100, I am not satisfied and will not be taking any more classes that involve this textbook and author ever again.

I got a C in calculus because the professor barely spoke english and didn't know how to teach. You would think for $50,000 a year per student the school would be able to attract someone at least as good as my high school math teacher. Without the book I probably would have failed.

I have to say this book has really good quality. At first I was quite unwilling to buy it because of those low score reviews, but it is too expensive to purchase in bookstore so I bought it, and found it was really good.

Very happy with purchase. Fast delivery

It was exactly what it was advertised as, a slightly used math book. The content of the book isn't the best. Lot's of errors on the back of the book, not sufficient examples. If one's doing a harder question and wants to see a similar example, it's usually not available in the book. The book works perfectly as a substitute for the third edition and is a tenth of the price. Overall, I'm happy with this buy.
