MathPrep for Biology is a unique program to help students learn to apply mathematical skills and systematic quantitative reasoning in the biological sciences. It is a valuable learning tool for high-school students and for college students taking Introductory Biology and laboratory courses.

Improves quantitative reasoning skills	Problems progress in difficulty
Teaches math in biological context	Lets students work independently
Emphasizes problem-solving process	Lets students progress at their own pace
Provides interesting problems in many biological subdisciplines	Complements math courses

Use MathPrep for Biology to:

Improve logical thinking in biology and related subjects
Improve applied math skills
Support math-across-the-curriculum (MAC) programs
Refresh math skills of adults re-entering the workforce or returning students

MathPrep for Biology works by providing the student with:

• 26 problem sequences with stepwise progress
• Exercises in ten critical math skills (sample subject screen)

	Fractions	Logarithms
	Probability	Averages
	Scientific Notation	Ratios and Proportions
	Scientific Arithmetic	Graph Skills
	Unit Conversions	Rate Problems

• All problems in biological contexts -- not just formulas
• Interesting graphics for each problem (sample problem screen)
• Extensive Help System available during use (sample help screen)
• A "Show Me" feature, to be used when the student is stuck on a problem (sample "show me" screen)
• Feedback provided to each student response (sample feedback screen)
• Individual student records maintained for each work session

Note: MathPrep for Biology presently available only for Macintosh.
