excellent book to study for all biological areas that math will uncover

Modeling the Dynamics of Life: Calculus and Probability for Life Scientists, by Frederick R. Adler

The goal of this book is to each the mathematical ideas that will help us understand various phenomena in life sciences. These are the same ideas that researchers use in their work, as well as in collaborations with colleagues engaged in more empirical activities. They are not specific techniques, such as differentiation or integration by parts, but rather they revolve around building mathematical models.

A mathematical model is that crucial link between a life sciences phenomenon and its description in terms of mathematical objects. We will gain the skills needed to construct a model, make sure it works, and understand what it implies—we will learn how to translate appropriate aspects of a life sciences problem and its assumptions into formulas, equations, and diagrams; how to solve the equations involved; and how to interpret the results in terms of the original problem.
