About this title

Synopsis

Statistical analysis is increasingly being recognized as a fundamental quantitative skill for all biology students to master. This accessible text provides the necessary foundation for them to do just that. Glover and Mitchell emphasize the application of statistics using examples from many areas of the life sciences, but without sacrificing theoretical rigor. Along with standard parametric analyses, many examples of nonparametric analysis are incorporated to better simulate the situations that undergraduates encounter in their own research projects and to accommodate those readers with more modest backgrounds in mathematics. A large number of end-of-chapter problems provide ample opportunities to apply the concepts presented in the text.

From the Back Cover

"The text is well organized and clear, quite suitable for an introductory-level course in statistics for the biological sciences. The sets of problems are very relevant and help solidify the concepts." -- Frank Siewerdt, University of Maryland

"I am very impressed with this text. I especially like the number and diversity of the problems at the end of each chapter. The low cost and accompanying CD is also attractive." -- Steven Slack, University of Memphis

"The examples are excellent and the text is very student friendly." -- Kipp Kruse, Eastern Illinois University

"Nice job! The book is updated, now includes a CD, and is less than one-half the price. It is the perfect size (amount of material) for a solid undergraduate biostatistics course." -- Marc Albrecht, University of Nebraska
