Learn about a simple, three-step approach to solving mathematical problems in bioscience.
The steps are:
- Define the problem - what are you being asked to find?
- Identify the relevant information - what figures and formulae will you need to solve the question? What can be ignored?
- Apply the mathematical technique - doing the calculations.
Taking a calm, systematic approach to problem-solving often helps reduce any worries or overwhelm when solving maths problems.
