The combination of Biostatistics and Computer Applications are very much useful for bio-sciences and bioinformatics fields. The book provides both concepts in synoptic view. The first part of the book includes chapters on basic concepts and sampling methods, probability and distributions, correlation and regression, Chi-Square test, analysis of variance, experimental designs and statistical quality control. The second part of the book provides a detailed, yet easy to understand description of the computer fundamentals. Each and every aspect is presented very clearly and logically. This part of book includes chapters on computer and its application history of computer, type of computers, number system, system concept fundamental of operating system, computer languages, networking concept, database management, and C programming. Salient Features All the chapters are written in a lucid manner A chapter on application of computers in pharmaceutical and clinical studies is added.
