Professor of Mathematics / UCLA
After N(>>1) years of work, the fourth edition of Calculus for Biology and Medicine textbook is now published. I was brought on as an author for this edition, and worked to improve Claudia Neuhauser's already very nice book, by introducing more mathematical modeling, and simplifying exposition of some topics, shaped by my own experiences of teaching from the book at UCLA.
