"Introductory Statistics for Biology Students" tackles fundamental ideas and experimental design using the minimum of mathematics and should prove useful for life science students. Examples are taken from a variety of disciplines, including zoology, plant science and agriculture, pharmacology and medicine. The book explains the importance of statistical methods and seeks to communicate the concepts of sampling and experimentation in a rigorous yet sympathetic style. Practical points concerning student projects are also fully covered. The text uses numerous annotated illustrations from Minitab printouts to underline principles of data interpretation and analysis. This book should be of interest to first year undergraduates in life sciences (pharmacy, psychology, agriculture, medicine, veterinary science and dentistry). Postgraduates requiring a refresher in statistics should find it useful.

Introductory Statistics for Biology Students, Second Edition

Mathematics

Even though an understanding of experimental design and statistics is central to modern biology, undergraduate and graduate students studying biological subjects often lack confidence in their numerical abilities. Allaying the anxieties of students, Introduction to Statistics for Biology, Third Edition provides a painless introduction to the subject while demonstrating the importance of statistics in contemporary biological studies. New to the Third Edition 
<li>More detailed explanation of the ideas of elementary probability to simplify the rationale behind hypothesis testing, before moving on to simple tests 
</li>
<li>An emphasis on experimental design and data simulation prior to performing an experiment 
</li>
<li>A general template for carrying out statistical tests from hypothesis to interpretation 
</li>
<li>Worked examples and updated Minitab analyses and graphics 
</li>
<li>A CD-ROM that contains a free trial version of Minitab Using Minitab throughout to present practical examples, the authors emphasize the interpretation of computer output. With its nontechnical approach and practical advice, this student-friendly introductory text lays the foundation for the advanced study of statistical analysis.</li>
