The primary focus of ​“Biostatistics: a user’s perspective” is to provide the knowledge required for basic statistical analysis and interpretation of biological data. The amount of mathematics involved will be minimal, and the focus will be conceptual and application-oriented, i.e. on getting the job done without necessarily understanding each gear and wheel clicking under the hood.
