In addition to helping scientists improve their knowledge of key mathematical concepts, this unique book will help readers: · Read mathematical symbols · Understand formulas, data or statistical information · Determine medication equivalents · Analyze neuroimaging data Mathematical concepts are presented alongside illustrative and useful real-world scien­tific examples and are further clarified through practical pen-and-paper exercises. Whether you are a student encountering high-level mathematics in your research or a seasoned scientist looking to refresh or strengthen your understanding, Math for Scientists: Refreshing the Essentials will be the book you reach for again and again. In this new edition, two new chapters covering statistics and differential equations have been added, which have been workshopped in the 'authors' popular lecture series in order to maximize the benefit for readers.MathematicsEngineeringLife sciencesSocial sciencesHumanitiesScienceMathematicsTechnology and EngineeringLife SciencesHumanities and Social SciencesPhysical SciencesMathematics and ComputingMathematics.Engineering.Life sciences.Social sciences.Humanities.Science.Mathematics.Technology and Engineering.Life Sciences.Humanities and Social Sciences.Physical Sciences.Mathematics and Computing.510Maurits Natasha888902Ćurčić-Blake Branislava1057705MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910763597003321Math for Scientists2493942UNINA
