STA100 – General Mathematics & Biostatistics Book

This compendium, the Book of STA100 General Mathematics and Biostatistics, is designed to help students who particularly need an improvement in their levels in mathematics while getting acquainted with general concepts of biostatistics. This book shall therefore guide and help a beginner with elements that are of relevance particularly within the domains of biology and health sciences.

The students in STA100 go through a review of some fundamental concepts in mathematics: algebra, linear equations, and elementary calculus. Then, with this foundation established, these skills are applied to the text of biostatistics through the areas of probability, descriptive statistics, and then to that of inferential statistics. The text also introduces hypothesis testing, correlation, and regression analysis, each with practical examples that will make the content very relevant to real-life scenarios in biology and health.

The book is designed in such a way that the learning curve goes up gradually and smoothly from basic mathematics to higher-order statistical applications. The clear explanations and a variety of examples in the STA100 book simplify seemingly complex ideas and make them accessible to students of different academic backgrounds. Exercises and case studies at the end of each chapter reinforce learning and give confidence to apply the material.

The objective of the book is to serve the complete beginner and those wanting to refresh their knowledge with the analytical skills necessary to study and research. Students mastering STA100 will have a good background for conducting an analysis and interpretation of results in contributing to scientific inquiry.
