The official textbook for this course is Calculus for Biology and Medicine (4th edition), by C. Neuhauser and M. Roper. This book is published by Prentice Hall. It is very readable and has many worked out examples. The book is available as a pdf in Canvas through the FirstDay program. The last day to opt-out for students from this program is September 6, 2022. In case you decide to opt-out, the textbook can also be purchased from the UK Bookstore or online. Roughly speaking, we should cover the first six (6) chapters of the book. We will illustrate the methods and ideas of calculus by studying several problems from biology. We will study the interpretation of the derivative as a rate of change, and model growth and declines of populations.

If you are interested in learning more and furthering your grasp of Calculus and Mathematical Biology, the following are some additional noteworthy resources:

1. Mathematical Biology: I. An Introduction (Part 1) by James D. Murray.
   The Bulletin of Mathematical Biology SIAM, 2004, says: "Murray's Mathematical Biology is a classic that belongs on the shelf of any serious student or researcher in the field. Together the two volumes contain well over 1000 references, a rich source of material, together with an excellent index to help readers quickly find key words. [...] I recommend the new and expanded third edition to any serious young student interested in mathematical biology who already has a solid basis in applied mathematics."
2. Mathematical Models in Biology by L. Edelstein-Keshet.
   
3. Modeling Differential Equations in Biology by C. H. Taubes.
   
4. Population Ecology by J. H. Vandermeer and D. E. Goldberg.
