Product Description
Review
“We highly recommend it—not just for statistically terrified biology students and faculty, but also for those who are occasionally anxious or uncertain. In addition to being a good starting point to learn statistics, it is a useful place to return to refresh your memory.” (The Quarterly Review of Biology, March 2009)
"Statistics for Terrified Biologists provides a valuable guide to statistics in clear language, which make it invaluable for pre–health and biology undergraduates students. Highly recommended." (CHOICE, March 2009)
"I would like to express my utmost gratitude to you for writing THE book on statistics for biologists. Your book makes statistics tangible and enjoyable. I′ve begun spreading the word to the other faculty here, and two have already purchased copies for themselves. I thank you for your time, and this gift you have given biology as a whole!" E. Joseph Nolan IV (West Liberty University, November 2011)
Product Description
"During the entire course of my Ph.D. I′ve been (embarrasingly) looking for a way to teach myself the fundamentals of statistical analysis. At this point in my education, I′ve come to realize that often times, simply knowing the basics is enough for you to properly apply even the most complex analytical methods. ‘Statistics for Terrified Biologists’ has been just such a book – it was more than worth the $40 I spent on it, and while my ′book clubs′ aren′t meant to be reviews, I highly recommend the book to anyone who′s in a similar predicament to my own." –Carlo Artieri′s Blog Book Club
The typical biology student is “hardwired” to be wary of any tasks involving the application of mathematics and statistical analyses, but the plain fact is much of biology requires interpretation of experimental data through the use of statistical methods.
This unique textbook aims to demystify statistical formulae for the average biology student. Written in a lively and engaging style, Statistics for Terrified Biologists draws on the author’s 30 years of lecturing experience. One of the foremost entomologists of his generation, van Emden has an extensive track record for successfully teaching statistical methods to even the most guarded of biology students.
For the first time basic methods are presented using straightforward, jargon–free language. Students are taught to use simple formulae accurately to interpret what is being measured with each test and statistic, while at the same time learning to recognize overall patterns and guiding principles. Complemented by simple illustrations and useful case studies, this is an ideal statistics resource tool for undergraduate biology and environmental science students who lack confidence in their mathematical abilities.
