Statistical reasoning and modeling are of critical importance to
modern biology. This textbook introduces fundamental concepts from
probability and statistics which will pave the way for the student
of biology to become a well-rounded scientist. No previous study of
probability or statistics is assumed. Calculus topics are not used
extensively in this book, though some integration and
differentiation are expected. The calculus prerequisite is
primarily intended to assure a certain level of mathematical
maturity. This book puts emphasis on examples, which are presented
to motivate the theory. The presentation style is concise and
self-contained, briefly including the mathematical elements that
are needed for studying probability and statistics. The examples
are relevant to students in the life sciences with interests in
genetics, biology, ecology, health, etc. We believe that aspects of
probability theory are of biological interest and that probability
underlies the theory of inferential statistics. Thus, we place an
equal emphasis on probability and statistics which are both
essential for solving and understanding many types of biological
problems.
