I use it as the recommended book for all my "statistics for beginners" classes around the world.             An Introduction To Experimental Design And Statistics For Biology1 review David Heath CRC Press, 1995 Readable book about statistics. This book covers a dry subject in a way that hasn't put me to sleep. It uses practical examples more than just formulas to explain the ideas. It also deals with common problems with experimental design quite well.             Chance in Biology2 reviews Mark Denny, Steven Gaines Princeton University Press, 2000 Math Applied to Biology + Biology illuminated by physics *Chance in Biology* is one of the best science books I have ever read (and I have read quite a few of them). This book applies probability theory (along with other topics in math and physics) to biological phenomena. A big PLUS for this book is that the authors intentionally wrote the book to be ...             A Review of Biostatistics: A Programme for Self-instruction Paul E. Leaverton Lippincott Williams and Wilkins, 1991 University of South Florida, Tampa. New edition of a programmed text for statistics students, emphasizing description and interpretation of common methods. Wire spiral binding. Previous edition 1991. DNLM: Biometry - programmed instruction.             Easy Mathematics for Biologists1 review Peter C. Foster CRC Press, 1999 A reader from Baltimore, MD Well written guide to the basics such as concentrations, dilutions, logs etc. with lots of useful worked examples. The only problem is the book is a bit too basic for all mathematic needs during a biological degree.             Biostatistical Methods (Methods in Molecular Biology)1 review Humana Press, 2001 Terrible and derivative work written with contributions of a pedophile The only things worthwhile in the whole book were it's references and citing of other original sources. Searching for info on the author's and contributers shows the hand of Emmanuel Lazardis a wanted fugitive for international child abduction and an outspoken advocate of the "love" a father can ...             Statistical Research Methods in the Life Sciences1 review P. V. Rao Duxbury Press, 1997 Great place to start for applied stats This book covers introductory (grad or advanced undergrad) material for applied statisics. See the TOC. It ranges from data exploration, t-tests, nonparametric tests, to factorial designs and mixed models. The book is clearly written, and SAS code is available (in the companion test) to carry out ...             Statistics & Experimental Design: An Introduction for Biologists & Biochemists Geoffrey M Clarke Wiley, 1994 Many gross errors in applying statistical methods arise through not knowing when they work, or when the results are a nonsense, and through using methods that are not entirely appropriate to the problems being analysed. The most effective way of learning to use and appreciate statistical methods is through an applied approach. Clarke's popular textbook provides a non-mathematical account of all ...             Biometrical Interpretation: Making Sense of Statistics in Biology (Oxford science publications) Neil Gilbert Oxford University Press, USA, 1989 This an updated version of a book which is revered for its direct, clear approach. It is aimed at students taking their first course in biological statistics and for biologists handling data mathematically. There are many elementary statistical textbooks but this book is unique in its concern with underlying ideas, with how to choose the right method for the right question, and with how to avoid ...             Life's Other Secret: The New Mathematics of the Living World7 reviews Ian Stewart John Wiley & Sons Inc, 1997 DNA may not be the last word + Math Rules + Mathematics, Patterns & Biology + Lots of interesting ideas about how Life works             Choosing and Using Statistics6 reviews Calvin Dytham Wiley, 1999 The most practical statistics book I have ever used. + Relief for those who don't speak in equations The author provides very clear and easy to follow explanations of the type of tests used and when they should be used. Furthermore, he provides step by step instructions for using the tests in SPSS, minitab, and excel, something that few other books do.             Introductory Biological Statistics2 reviews Raymond E. Hampton William C. Brown, 1993 Great Stats Intro! + Excellent text book for the beginner... If you're new to stats, or just keep forgetting the definition of chi squared, this is the book for you. Easy to read, good worked examples - both parametric and non-parametric (the autor will tell you what those are if you don't already know). I use to borrow my roommates - now I'm buying my own ...             Biological Data Analysis: A Practical Approach Oxford University Press, USA, 1993 Many biologists remain unfamiliar with statistical analysis and modelling, yet need to apply these techniques increasingly in their research. This volume describes how to analyze biological data, with commonly available software packages, without making errors which can invalidate results. Practical guidance is provided for planning the correct strategy for a variety of different statistical ...             Randomization and Monte Carlo Method (Chapman & Hall Texts in Statistical Science)1 review Bryan F.J. Manly Chapman & Hall/CRC, 1990 Good alternative to Manly's book on Randomization, Bootstrap and Monte carlo methods This book was originally purchased to get a better understanding of Monte Carlo techniques used in biological data analyses.
