Description
This package contains Greenwell, Calculus with Applications for the Life Sciences 2e 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.
For freshman/sophomore, 1-2 semester or 2-3 quarter courses covering calculus for students in life sciences.
This package includes MyMathLab (R).
Calculus for the Life Sciences features interesting, relevant applications that motivate students and highlight the utility of mathematics for the life sciences. This edition also features new ways to engage students with the material, such as Your Turn exercises.
This program will provide a better teaching and learning experience. Here's how:
Motivation: Students constantly see the math applied to the life sciences.
Built for student success: Proven pedagogy, robust exercise sets, and comprehensive end-of-chapter material help students succeed in the course.
Personalized help with MyMathLab: MyMathLab delivers proven results by personalizing the learning process.
This package includes MyMathLab, an online homework, tutorial, and assessment program designed to work with this text to personalize learning and improve results. With a wide range of interactive, engaging, and assignable activities, students are encouraged to actively learn and retain tough course concepts.
My_Lab/Mastering should only be purchased when required by an instructor. Please be sure you have the correct ISBN and Course ID. Instructors, contact your Pearson representative for more information.
