This textbook is aimed at undergraduate foreign students ofmedicine and pharmacy in China.The book makes an effort to guidestudents, particularly of medicine and pharmacy, through the coreconcepts of calculus and to help them understand how those conceptsapply to their lives and the world around them.It emphasizes theimportant role of calculus in the medicine and pharmacy sciences.Most of the contents have been practiced at Jiangsu University.Thematerial is well-suited for self-study, as we know from experience.The book is intended for the first semester of study.It coversthe traditional single variable calculus course as well as probabilityand statistics.Emphasis is put on calculus since it serves as the baseof probability theory.There are eight chapters in the textbook.Thevery first chapter talks about function, about which students havebeen familiar with.Topics that follow are traditional contents ofdifferential calculus and the basic concepts of integral, as well asprobability and statistics: limits, derivatives, additional derivativetopics, graphingand optimization, integration, applications ofintegration, probability and statistics.
