Go-to reference for biostats.

I am done with this book! It was needed for my Biometrics class. Agony.

This book is incredibly dense, so it was helpful my professor made worksheets for what we needed to know from each chapter. (We skipped the chapter on ANCOVA and the final chapter was the 24th.)

DONE!!

Good book. Its dry, but its also a statistics book. If you need to know lots of stats in a hurry, this is a good book for it.
