Introduction to Applied Calculus For Social and Life Sciences, An
Revised 1st edition with solutions
F NYABADZA & L WESSELS
An introduction to Applied Calculus for Social and Life Sciences, the revised edition, contains all the material in the original version and now contains answers to odd numbered exercises. The book additionally contains selected worked out examples available from the publisher’s website. The book is designed primarily for students majoring in Social Sciences and Life Sciences. It prepares students to deal with mathematical problems which arise from real-life problems encountered in other areas of study, such as Agriculture, Forestry, Biochemistry, Biology and the Biomedical Sciences. It is also of value to anyone intending to develop foundational undergraduate calculus for the Physical Sciences.
