The text is composed of a set of sixteen laboratory investigations which allow the student to explore rich and diverse ideas and concepts in mathematics. The approach is hands-on, experimental, an approach that is very much in the spirit of modern pedagogy. The course is typically offered in one semester, at the sophomore (second year) level of college. It requires completion of one year of calculus. The course provides a transition to the study of higher, abstract mathematics. The text is written independent of any software. Supplements will be available on the projects' web site.

Intended as a companion to the authors text, Mathematical Experimentation: A Laboratory Bridge Course, this book contains teaching hints, and ideas for implementing and instructing students in performing a wide set of experiments in mathematics. It is intended for mathematics instructors who wish to design a course stressing an experimental approach to higher mathematics

Work at the biology bench requires an ever-increasing knowledge of mathematical methods and formulae. This is a compilation of the most common mathematical concepts and methods in molecular biology, with clear, straightforward guidance on their application to research investigations.
