This "almost no math" text takes a focused, health sciences approach toward statistics. Developed for the junior/senior, one-semester course, Basic Biostatistics provides introductory, user-friendly explanations of the primary concepts on which the most common statistical techniques are founded. Designed for the first-time statistics student, Basic Biostatistics is easy to read, unintimidating, and economically priced. Terminology and concepts relevant to the allied health and biology fields are emphasized, while calculations are downplayed.
