Principles of Soil Science Exercise Manual
Mark W. Bowen · University of Wisconsin Oshkosh
This exercise manual was designed for use in an upper-level undergraduate soils course. The manual consists of ten hands-on or experiment-type exercises and fourteen take-home fact-finding and critical thinking exercises. The take-home exercises can be used to complement the hands-on exercises, or they can be used independently.

Differential Calculus for the Life Sciences
Leah Edelstein-Keshet · University of British Columbia
Calculus arose as a tool for solving practical scientific problems through the centuries. However, it is often taught as a technical subject with rules and formulas (and occasionally theorems), devoid of its connection to applications. In this course, the applications form an important focal point, with emphasis on life sciences. This places the techniques and concepts into practical context, as well as motivating quantitative approaches to biology taught to undergraduates.
