A student focused pedagogical approach will help students build their confidence, develop their understanding and learn how to apply mathematical techniques within their studies. Students will be able to use the book as a resource to complement their theory-based textbooks and to prepare themselves for practical classes, tutorials and research projects.       Key features   The book progresses in a logical manner, opening with fundamental problems and then building to more complex calculations aligned to different disciplines in the biosciences.   • Worked examples with detailed solutions provide step-by-step guidance through each calculation to help students build their practical skills.   • Important rules and key points are highlighted in text boxes to help students consolidate their understanding of techniques and theory.   • Illustrations provide insight into what students are likely to encounter in the laboratory.    • Self-assessment questions are provided throughout to enable students to manage their learning and track their progress.   • Learning objectives and key terms also help students to monitor their study.       Suitable for students on courses from the pure end of the spectrum to more applied courses such as biomedical sciences, microbiology, molecular biology, physiology, and forensics.       Dr Ela Bryson is Senior Lecturer in Molecular Biology at the School of Life and Medical Sciences at the University of Hertfordshire   Dr Jackie Willis is Associate Dean of the School of Life and Medical Sciences at the University if Hertfordshire       This book can be supported by MyMathLabGlobal, an online teaching and learning platform designed to build and test your understanding. The book and the MyMathLabGlobal system provide a range of benefits including:   • A tool for the diagnosis of existing strengths and weaknesses in maths   • A comprehensive set of algorithmically generated questions that can be used by students to practise and develop their skills in an independent and flexible manner and by the tutor to evaluate progress           Need extra support?

Taking a hands-on approach, each of these key areas is introduced clearly and carefully, showing how to access and evaluate information using a variety of resources.  Basic analytical theory is gradually introduced alongside practical applications to enhance student understanding. The reader is shown how to present data in charts using Microsoft Excel and statistical analysis is carefully explained showing clearly how to manipulate data in spreadsheets and analyse the results using commonly used tests. A section is also included on the use of PowerPoint as well as giving advice on how to prepare a short talk or seminar.     Includes numerous relevant examples and case studies drawn from the Life Sciences Guidance on how to complete and present practical and project work through to postgraduate dissertation. Clear step-by-step introduction to Microsoft Excel, presentation skills and statistical analysis.
