They further suggest that the principles embodied in some core principles and concepts need to be the basis for most undergraduate Science courses, like the ones created for nonmajors. The topic of Tools for Critical Thinking in Biology will be the very first and most fundamental of these competencies: the ability to utilize the tradition of mathematics. The novel utilizes diverse examples to illustrate how experiments function, how hypotheses can be tested by systematic and comparative observations when experiments aren’t possible, how variations are useful in math, and how sound decisions could be determined by the weight of proof when doubt remains.
These are fundamental issues in the tradition of mathematics that are important for everyone to understand, whether they pursue careers in math or not. Where other introductory biology textbooks are coordinated with scientific concepts, Tools for Critical Thinking in Biology will instead show how methods might be utilized to analyze hypotheses in regions as different as ecology and medicine, as well as contemporary case studies. The novel provides pupils with a deeper understanding of their flaws and strengths of these processes for answering new questions, and will consequently change the method by which they think about the principles of biology.
