molecular biology and are thus crucial to you in whatever career you choose. The material is
somewhat mathematical, but I do not wish for anyone to get hung up on the math. I will cover
mathematical topics as we need them. If you need any additional help, please ask in class, ask in
my office, or ask in math-help. The four (4
