Data-Handling in Biomedical Science
Cambridge University Press (Verlag)
978-0-521-14386-8 (ISBN)
Packed with worked examples and problems, this book will help the reader improve their confidence and skill in data-handling. The mathematical methods needed for problem-solving are described in the first part of the book, with chapters covering topics such as indices, graphs and logarithms. The following eight chapters explore data-handling in different areas of microbiology and biochemistry including microbial growth, enzymes and radioactivity. Each chapter is fully illustrated with worked examples that provide a step-by-step guide to the solution of the most common problems. Over 30 exercises, ranging in difficulty and length, allow you to practise your skills and are accompanied by a full set of hints and solutions.
Peter White taught practical classes and tutorials in microbiology for over 30 years during his time as a Lecturer and Senior Lecturer at Sheffield University. His research interests include microbial drug-resistance, biochemistry of bacterial walls and metabolism of members of the genus Bacillus. He is a member of the Society for General Microbiology and a past member of the Biochemical Society and the American Society for Microbiology.
