Philip Rowe 
Essential Statistics for the Pharmaceutical Sciences 

‘… this text takes a novel approach… The style… is not as
dry as other statistics texts, and so should not be intimidating
even to a relative newcomer to the subject… The layout is easy to
navigate, there are chapter aims, summaries and ‘key point
boxes’ throughout.’ -The Pharmaceutical Journal, 2008

This text is a clear, accessible introduction to the key
statistical techniques employed for the analysis of data within
this subject area. Written in a concise and logical manner, the
book explains why statistics are necessary and discusses the issues
that experimentalists need to consider. The reader is carefully
taken through the whole process, from planning an experiment to
interpreting the results, avoiding unnecessary calculation
methodology. The most commonly used statistical methods are
described in terms of their purpose, when they should be used and
what they mean once they have been performed.

Numerous examples are provided throughout the text, all within a
pharmaceutical context, with key points highlighted in summary
boxes to aid student understanding.

Essential Statistics for the Pharmaceutical Sciences
takes a new and innovative approach to statistics with an informal
style that will appeal to the reader who finds statistics a
challenge!

This book is an invaluable introduction to statistics for any
science student. It is an essential text for students taking
biomedical or pharmaceutical-based science degrees and also a
useful guide for researchers.
