MATH 40 is an introduction to calculus and its applications in the life sciences. Rather than focusing only on mathematical techniques, we will explore how calculus can be used to describe, analyze, and understand phenomena in biology and other life-science disciplines.

Throughout the course, we will encounter concepts such as limits, derivatives, integrals, and differential equations and see how these ideas can help us model and interpret real-world situations involving population growth, rates of change, biological processes, and other applications in the life sciences.
