"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.
