This course provides a survey of calculus and finite mathematics focusing on the concepts and modelling techniques used in the life sciences. To this end it covers common families of functions (polynomial, logarithmic and exponential) and their derivatives and integrals, linear programming, simple and conditional probability and Bayes theorem, and network analysis. All the topics are illustrated using problems drawn from the life sciences.

Prerequisite: Pre-calculus 12 or Principles of Math 12 or Foundations of Mathematics 12 or MATH 060, or equivalent.
