'This is an excellent and most welcome book. It combines a refresher course in mathematics (for those who need it) with a comprehensive range of data-handling problems and worked examples in biochemistry and microbiology - invaluable for both students and tutors.'-Emeritus Professor John R. Guest FRS, Department of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, University of Sheffield

Packed with worked examples and problems for you to try, this book will help to improve your 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 using different areas of microbiology and biochemistry including microbial growth, enzymes and radioactivity as examples. 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.
