BASIC Microcomputing and Biostatistics is designed as the first
practical "how to" guide to both computer programming in BASIC and
the statis tical data processing techniques needed to analyze
experimental, clinical, and other numerical data. It provides a
small vocabulary of essential com puter statements and shows how
they are used to solve problems in the bio logical, physical, and
medical sciences. No mathematical background be yond algebra and an
inkling of the principles of calculus is assumed. All more advanced
mathematical techniques are developed from "scratch" before they
are used. The computing language is BASIC, a high-level lan guage
that is easy to learn and widely available using time-sharing com
puter systems and personal microcomputers. The strategy of the book
is to present computer programming at the outset and to use it
throughout. BASIC is developed in a way reminiscent of graded
readers used in human languages; the first programs are so sim ple
that they can be read almost without an introduction to the
language. Each program thereafter contains new vocabulary and one
or more con cepts, explained in the text, not used in the previous
ones. By gradual stages, the reader can progress from programs that
do nothing more than count from one to ten to sophisticated
programs for nonlinear curve fitting, matrix algebra, and multiple
regression. There are 33 working programs and, except for the
introductory ones, each performs a useful function in everyday data
processing problems encountered by the experimentalist in many
diverse fields."
