Preface Mathematics for Life Scientists teaches calculus, probability, and statistics as a way to introduce freshman and sophomore life science majors to the insights mathematics can provide into many aspects of biology. Why should there be a special book for this audience? Although the importance of quantitative skills in the life sciences is much discussed, current realities tend to conceal their vital role. Too often, biology is the natural science of last resort for students who believe “they aren’t cut out for math.” Most colleges and universities require little calculus for their biology majors, and those that do require a full calculus course doubt its worth when students emerge unable to apply even pre-calculus mathematics in new contexts. Students are left with similar doubts when the techniques they learned for tests vanish as swiftly from the curriculum as from their memories. Students, biology faculty, and administrators see that biology is burgeoning as a science and as a major, apparently unhindered by pervasive mathematical illiteracy. In fact, mathematics has played an important if under-appreciated role in biology, providing the impetus for breakthroughs in epidemiology, genetics, statistics, physiology, and many other areas. As a theoretical biologist who uses mathematics to make sense of complex biological systems, I see this role expanding, not contracting. Although a great deal of biology can be done without any mathematics, the powerful new technologies that are transforming fields of biology from genetics and physiology to ecology are increasingly quantitative, as are many of the questions at the frontiers of knowledge. Mathematics is the language, the “technology of thought,” with which these developments are created and controlled. Students who speak this language will be the leaders of the next generation of biologists. As biology becomes more important in society, mathematical literacy becomes as necessary for doctors, business people, lawyers, and art historians as for researchers. My goal in this book is simple: to teach biology majors the mathematical ideas I use every day in my own research and in collaborations with my more empirical colleagues. These ideas are not specific techniques like “differentiation,” but concepts of modeling. The skills include describing a system, translating appropriate aspects into equations, and interpreting results in terms of the original problem. In this process, the science is central and “solving” the equations is in some ways the least important step. Because a few dynamical principles underlie a remarkable diversity of biological processes, this book follows three themes throughout: growth, diffusion and selection. Each theme is studied in turn with the three kinds of model that structure the course: discrete-time dynamical systems, differential equations, and stochastic processes. Techniques and insights build on each other throughout the course. Along the way, students learn and apply the standard material of a calculus course (differentiation, integration, and their applications). In addition, the course introduces matrices, vectors, and some basic calculus in two dimensions, all in a dynamical context. Most significantly, the final section of the book teaches probability 1
2 and statistics from the same perspective, using discrete-time dynamical systems and differential equations to describe simple stochastic processes. This section shows that correct and flexible application of statistics requires understanding the processes that generate data, and introduces the fundamental statistical notions of likelihood, parameter estimation, and hypothesis testing. In many ways, students go farther than in a traditional calculus (or probability) class. Time is saved by skipping methods made obsolete by computers. Learning more concepts and fewer techniques is definitely more challenging. As a sweetener, students are given the keys to the powerful techniques professionals use when equations cannot be solved: graphical methods (cobwebbing and phase space), approximation (leading behavior), and computers (labs using a computer algebra/graphics program). These techniques emphasize reasoning and visualization, and show that applied mathematics has less to do with algebraic wizardry than with the clear formulation of ideas. Working with computers has proven to be particularly successful in this context. What are the benefits of this approach? All instructors know that students will not remember every technique they have learned. This course emphasizes understanding what a model is, and recognizing what models say. To be able to recognize a differential equation, interpret the terms, and use the solution is far more important than knowing how to find the solution. These reasoning skills, in addition to familiarity with models in general, are what stay with the motivated student, and are what matter most in the end. The book is designed to mesh in a logical way with a general biology curriculum. The dynamical themes are distilled from the material covered in standard introductory courses: genetics, cell biology, physiology, and ecology. When instructors of these courses find themselves freed from reviewing basic quantitative methods, they can begin to use quantitative reasoning as an integral part of each course. Students forge the connections that make learning stick when they see ideas from their math course pay off in biology, and vice versa, or develop the confidence to play with the numbers with algebraic, graphical, or computer tools. Most importantly, the course is fun to teach. Leading students through an integrated course for a full year removes the pressure for instant instructor gratification. (“All of my students could take the derivatives of polynomials.”) Instead, one can allow understanding to develop as concepts return for the second or third time. Students find this unsettling and yearn for instant gratification too. But with time, they accept the challenge of thinking. When they begin to apply their new powers to their own problems, when they solve a problem on the computer without being told to, or when they teach me something about biology in the context of a mathematical idea, delayed gratification starts to feel like the best possible kind.
Acknowledgments This book would never have been written without the support of a Hughes Foundation Grant to the University of Utah which included as part of its mission an attempt to more effectively teach mathematics to biology majors. That grant brought together a committee of faculty to guide creation of this book and course consisting of Aaron Fogelson, David Goldenberg, Jim Keener, Mark Lewis, David Mason, Larry Okun, Hans Othmer, Jon Seger and Ryk Ward. Each, in his own way, added much to this work. Particular thanks to Jon Seger and Mark Lewis for discussion and ideas. Frank Wattenberg, Lou Gross, and Simon Levin for looked over the book and delivered much-needed advice on the whole. Alan Rogers kindly let me use his exercise style and Nelson Beebe helped smooth over many technical problems. Thanks to my editor Gary Ostedt for agreeing to
3 support a preliminary edition, for providing bird watching opportunities, and for making me feel important. This draft of the book benefited greatly from the comments and complaints of the students who survived the rocky first run of the course: Jennifer Aiman, Ty “Captain Flail” Corbridge, Brett Doxey, Ambur Economou, Brad Hasna, Robert Kane, Laura Krause, Jennifer Layman, Eric Mortensen, Scott Nord, Kevin Rapp, Chris Reilly, Mindi Robinson, Rachael Rosenfeld, Stephanie Spindler, Mark Stevens, Sheri Williams, Richard Wood and Gentry Yost. Ranging from those with an excess of comments to those who suffered in eloquent silence, they helped give this book whatever value it might have as a teaching tool. The veterans of the second run offered the same range of honest and helpful advice: Elissa Ashby, William Bleazard, Aaron Campbell, Timothy Christensen, Christina Davenport, Elizabeth Gloyn, Marc Hammerlund, Stacey Hansen, Catherine Hatt, Christopher Horne, Katina Lessard, Michelle Madsen, Stacy Meola, Jennifer Mercier, Wendy Pendry, Karin Rattlingourd, Alison Schick, Helene Segal, Sara Sharpsteen, Christen Sowards, Samuel Webb, and Luann Witt. They corrected many errors and cheerfully pointed out pedagogical shortcomings. My teaching assistants, Stephen Proulx, Peter Spiro, Vicky Solomon, Colonel Tim Lewis and Kristina Bogar, were always ready to stand behind me and tell me what I was doing wrong. In addition to her extraordinary sartorial advice and culinary support, I thank Anne Collopy for her inspirational example of writing with clear transitions, extended metaphors and elegant sentence structure. And for filling the work-free interstices of life with the same.
