This volume teaches calculus in the biology context without compromising the level of regular calculus. Each new concept is typically introduced with a biological example; the concept is then developed without the biological context; and then the concept is tied into additional biological examples. This allows readers to first see why a certain concept is important; then lets them focus on how …

Cardiomegaly or enlargement of the heart, is a designated umbrella term for various conditions that lead to the enlargement of the heart. Early detection and intervention would increase the chance of survival, however, detection of cardiomegaly is usually done with chest X-rays and might be difficult to do as diagnosis of cardiomegaly involves the detection of subtle and small changes in the he…
Phylogenetic distance estimation between taxa in a tree is critical for tree reconstruction. There exist several classical methods that are already established in the field of phylogenetics. However, these classical methods of distance estimation are not straightforward and their computation can be tedious. As neural networks show great success in pattern recognition tasks, it is reasonable tha…
